										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Any movement forward, or progress, brings together with it some risks and challenges that test the staying power and fighting capabilities of those who are determined to move on.This is what is happening in every sphere of modern life and business activities and tour operators and travel agents are no exception.  The growth of online travel companies and the mushrooming of new travel agencies, coupled with the growing tendency on the part of the airline companies to cut down on the commission to travel agents,are eating into the profit margins of the tour and travel agencies.  </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In short, the progress and growth in travel and tourism being experienced all over the world does not benefit those travel companies who are not fast enough or competitive enough to change and those who are not able to keep on reinventing themselves to keep afloat.As Sam Nunn would say,“The good news is that we are making progress. The bad news is that we&#8217;re doing too little and moving much too slowly”.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The greatest challenge faced by a travel companies is related to the treatment an enquiry received from a prospect of a tour package. The traveller needs all the details comprehensively and completely in a nutshell,including the specification of the package that conform perfectly with the tastes of the guest, the related accommodation from availability,the details of transport and other services, the distances and details of nearby locations of tourist interest,etc. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hotels &amp; resorts and service providers have to do their bit by updating their existing rates, special offers and packages.Even if they do that promptly,collecting all this bits of data, analyzing them and grouping them into comprehensive package with relevant information, tailored to the needs of each enquirer, is a time consuming task,indeed, if the company is NOT empowered by technology.  </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The technology that a travel company can rely on with confidence is <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/travel_ERP.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS Travel</a>, the online travel agency software that simplifies contracting, costing, CRM and reservation process.It makes costing error a thing of the past, brings down operational costs considerably and maximizes guest turnouts by giving optimum service to the prospective customers who, in turn, become brand ambassadors of the travel company.  </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;">The <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/payit.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Payment Gateway</a> in the system ensures way of collection of secure payments from any part of the world. Facilities for integration of telephone and mail into the software guarantee that no phone call or email from a potential client is ever missed.The system </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">makes managing everything with just a click of the button.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">It is the greatest business partner of the travel company in his fight to overcome the challenges in his business.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This solution helps the travel companies to keep tab of and have secure access to contract rates, together with the offer or package rate for the room and the availability of the room on the specified day, in all the hotels that come in their network, from a single platform.  The travel companies can thus have the right to access all the special rates, offers and packages in the hospitality facility, during the various periods, and avail of them all.  </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With this technology in place,the travel companies would be able to create multi-users and let the agency staff members have secure access, from a common pool, to all the hotels in the supplier network.They can even add the hospitality facilities as Direct Channel, block, or reserve in advance, rooms during specific period as per the requirements of their clients, confirm the bookings of rooms live and also submit requests for cancellation of confirmed accommodations.  </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The travel companies, using the software, can view, simultaneously, check all the previous schedules and update their payments due.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Being sure that all the details on the screen are the latest available and the only available data on the net at the time is indeed a great relief to the travel companies who had so far been in the dark on the complex situation of demand and supply in the hospitality sector, especially during the high seasons.<a href="http://www.webcrs.com/travel_ERP.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS Travel</a> has taken the guess work out of hospitality business.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span> </span></span></div>

Here are two of his most popular tips to boost your profitability.</span></span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div><b><u><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">PROBLEM No. 1</span></span></u></b></div>
<div><b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tons of Manual Processes to be optimised</span></span></b></div>
<div><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every time when a travel company receives a guest enquiry regarding tour package or accommodation, the team needs to search agency contracts and may also require contacting the hotels, vehicle rental agencies and other service providers directly to check availability and best available rates.Guests may also seek specific packages and want to compare the package cost with another service provider.In case the agency manages contracts on spreadsheet, they may find it difficult searching right deal, mapping itinerary and generating quotes based on the requirement of the guests.In normal working scenarios a guest gets the quote after 24 hours.The guest might not wait for long for costing details and may probably switch to other agencies.  </span></span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div><b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What is required?</span></span></b></div>
<div><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Travel agencies must switch to a paperless environment and use the most up-to-date system and technologies for the business, to bring down operational cost, avoid costing errors and simplify the <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/ohrs.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">booking and reservation</a> process, to maximize revenues through guest turnouts so that they may be able to stand tall against the market contenders.This system must also facilitate telephone and mail integration to never miss important calls and emails from the prospective customers or guests.</span></span></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><u><span lang="EN-GB">PROBLEM No. 2</span></u></b><u></u></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Payment</span></b><span lang="EN-GB"> <b>dilemma</b></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Travel Agencies and Tour Operators face delays in collection of payments from guests, especially international guests.Some have paid the whole amount in advance, some have paid a part in advance, some are yet to pay anything and some have send in cheques.Some are making direct payments and some are paying through their travel agencies abroad.The payment reminders and collection follow-up are hard   to track on real time basis.</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What is required?</span></span></b></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To make things convenient for everyone involved (both the agency and the guests), one needs to have a secure and user-friendly payment system, which should not only update agencies about due payments, by giving repeated alerts  to follow-up with guests, but also send reminder mails to the guests that their payments are due for specific services.The travel agency needs to have an inherent payment gateway, which could promise secure payment dealings, be it through credit cards, debit cards or other banking facilities.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> </span></div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Technology is at the forefront of every business and the hoteliers are no exception that are often </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">prepared to invest on things (innovative technologies) that could guarantee them the Number </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">One slot in the market. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%;">It has been found that most of the hoteliers choose the software&#8217;s of multiple suppliers for addressing their distribution and revenue management of hotels . It is like, they may use a property management system from one supplier, whereas use </span><a style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%;" href="http://www.webcrs.com/ohrs.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">booking engine</a><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%;">, </span><a style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%;" href="http://www.webcrs.com/WebCRS.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">channel manager</a><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%;"> from a different supplier. Then they might use revenue management software from another vendor and market intelligence using another vendors. All these software&#8217;s does not talk to each other so the reports/MIS got from these software has to be again reconciled to get the ultimate goal.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="justify"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">  </span></span></div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Revenue management in hotel industry is important, considering various distribution platform available in the market, today. When the hoteliers do business in a perfectly competitive industry, they have to carefully determine their prices in the market.Hoteliers can increase room occupancy rates and enhance business profits only when they have competitive rates. Captive product pricing can help hoteliers drive customers better, this can be done only by constant evaluation of the market and fine tune ones own business strategy.</p>
<p>By forecasting the demand and evaluating the pricing strategies, hoteliers can dynamically control rates. This way, they can ascertain higher room occupancy rates and increased business profits.</p>
<p>With a dynamic pricing strategy, the hoteliers can control the rates of their properties for different periods and seasons. By forecasting demand well in advance, the hoteliers can allocate rooms at their convenience. They can hide/block (hold back) certain rooms, limit/restrict visibility on different online travel portals and third-party booking sites for a specific period and release the properties, only when the demand is very high. In this manner, with higher demand the hoteliers can quote higher price for their properties and generate more revenue.</p>
<p>By estimating demand, the hoteliers can even create special rates, discounts, packages and offers for the early/advance bookers for improving customer engagement rate and in creating brand loyalty.</p>
<p>In order to increase the occupancy rates, most hoteliers try to sell their unsold inventories/properties for lower cost and incur loss. However, by forecasting demand in advance, the hoteliers need not sell their unsold inventories at less cost, any more. Through the revenue management tool incorporated to the hotel&#8217;s property management system, the hoteliers can monitor and track the market competitors, their pricing strategies and also analyze the buying behaviour of customers. The hoteliers can identify the factors that influence the buying decision of customers and extend competitive rates, based on preferences (willingness to pay measures) and seasonality.</p>
<p>With hotel revenue management system, the hoteliers can do effective competitor price comparison. They can evaluate their old pricing policies and based on the market demand, alter and devise a better pricing strategy. By knowing, what the future holds one can plan and make better decisions and hotel revenue management tool is one such that helps the hoteliers have a look into the future, to plan things in a better way.</p>
<p>And the hoteliers that want to gain a competitive edge in the market should delay no further in adopting the right &#8216;competitive analysis and revenue management tools&#8217;, for their business. <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS</a> from<a href="http://www.webcrs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'arial'; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://webcrs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRSTravel Technologies Pvt Ltd</a></span></a> has been helping the hoteliers with effective market intelligence, yield and revenue management on real time basis. It gives hoteliers a competitive edge in forecasting the demand and apply revenue management rules in real time</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 150%;">While deciding to take a trip  (whether individual or family/group tours), the modern-day travelers no longer think about (or consider) traditional travel companies, because they know there are infinite on-line companies, on the web space that charge &#8216;less&#8217; and that too without sacrificing the product quality or service.</span></p>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" href="http://web.webcrs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/uniloginim1.jpg"><img src="http://web.webcrs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/uniloginim1-300x212.jpg" width="400" height="282" border="0" /></a></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="left"></div>
<p><span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Unlike traditional travel companies (that are) confined to a specific location with limited contacts, the on-line companies offer better options/choices to the customers. The on-line agencies not only save customers the &#8216;valuable time&#8217; but even help them with cost saving packages, though they (agencies) are often blamed for the &#8216;hidden charges&#8217; involved in/with the products on sale.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif; font-size: medium;">On the other end, the traditional travel firms even though use direct and personal approach with customers and go beyond the call of duty for price negotiation with suppliers, are preferred less to the on-line companies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif; font-size: medium;">A few of the reasons that make on-line travel companies a hot-favorite of customers are: instant response to customer queries, better options/choices, convenient (on-line) payment methods, flexible</span><a style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;" href="http://www.webcrs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> booking</a><span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif; font-size: medium;">/cancellation and refund policies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And, with plethora of on-line travel companies around (and the mushrooming ones), the traditional travel companies find it very hard to survive and are losing the grounds to the market competitors. However, they can stand tall and gain a competitive edge by seeking <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/agent_unilogin.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS UniLogin technology</a>. An innovative product from <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'arial'; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://webcrs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRSTravel Technologies Pvt Ltd</a></span>, <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/agent_unilogin.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS UniLogin</a> provides an on-line platform to hoteliers and travel agents, for connecting and doing business with each other.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif; font-size: medium;">By using the </span><a style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;" href="http://www.webcrs.com/agent_unilogin.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS UniLogin technology</a><span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif; font-size: medium;">, the traditional travel companies would be able to have access to over 400-plus different types of accommodation service providers (bed and breakfast, boutique, resorts, budget hotels etc) from a single interface. Through the secure and reliable</span><a style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;" href="http://www.webcrs.com/agent_unilogin.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">UniLogin</a><span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif; font-size: medium;"> account, the travel agencies can log into their respective accounts and send requests to hotels in the network.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Once approved by and connected with the accommodation service providers, the agents can have real-time access to the inventories and special/negotiated rates of the hotels and be able to effectively manage itineraries and packages of their customers/travelers.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'times' , 'times new roman' , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Hundreds of travel agencies are benefiting from the <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/agent_unilogin.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS UniLogin</a> platform already and are witnessing better business results. Traditional travel companies, if are concerned about higher operating cost and lower profit margins should think nothing otherwise and go about adopting <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/agent_unilogin.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS UniLogin</a>, with confidence.</span></span></p>

While being in tourism sector, the travel companies and tour operators require managing lot of itineraries and of course present those packages to guests in a professional manner, through their website.<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">Similarly, from a customer point of view &#8211; with too many travel portals around, the guests look for websites that are one-stop solution for all their travel needs. Guests prefer sites, where they could search for different itineraries, packages with less effort and even post enquiries directly to the company.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">In order to serve the needs and wants of travelers, the travel companies and tour operators require working with nothing but the highest quality website, which they could use for dynamically controlling all the content of their site. The <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/tour_studio.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS TourCMS</a> is an answer for travel companies that require publishing lot of tour itineraries and packages on their site on a daily basis.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">Site content management is not a one-day affair, as it is a continuous process, which requires too much of time and labor. Hence, the travel companies need to go for <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/tour_studio.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS Tour CMS </a>to have more control of their website and the content across all the pages.<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">By adopting <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/tour_studio.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tour CMS</a>, the companies would be able to manage all their itineraries and packages, with less effort, without requiring any technical knowledge or expertise. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">With the<a href="http://www.webcrs.com/tour_studio.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> TourCMS</a>, the travel companies and tour operators would be able to upload and manage as many itineraries they want from a single platform. Both basic and advanced versions of <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/tour_studio.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS Tour CMS</a> are available, which the companies could use to publish itineraries with and/or without price values to manage their content.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">On the user front, the guests (using the <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/tour_studio.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tour CMS</a> supported site) would be able to search and map itineraries effectively, request brochures up-front from companies to plan holidays and dynamically create different tour packages, at ease.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">Thanks to the technology effectiveness, the <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/tour_studio.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tour CMS</a> from <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS</a> is a huge success already in the travel and tourism market and is one of the favorites of travel companies across India.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">Travel companies that used the Content Management System (Tour CMS) of <a href="http://www.webcrs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WebCRS</a> have been able to overcome business challenges and enhance organizational efficiency.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">In a cutthroat market, to keep going &#8211; every business needs to have a competitive edge over contenders. The scenario in the Hospitality and tourism sector is nothing different, where lot of players can be seen battling for customers and for the bigger market share.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><a href="http://web.webcrs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/features.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://web.webcrs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/features.jpg" height="173" width="200" /></a><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Unlike before, with too many Hotels around competing with each other, the customers have a lot on platter to choose from and almost everyone today has the tendency to select nothing but the best service providers in the market.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Price was, has been and would always be a prime concern for customers. Earlier when the choices were limited (in terms of service providers), the customers had no option than going for whatever they used to get in the market at the FIXED price asked by the suppliers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">However, with the change in market scenario and entry of new players (and the trend is continuing), the customers have the power and they are the ones that have the final say in everything. In such a scenario (in an exclusive buyer’s market), it becomes imperative for Hotels (companies) to be flexible in/with their approach towards customers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Irrespective of income group or standard of living, every customer has concerns about pricing. Who does not like best deals in anything? The customers would always look for highest quality products/services that come with the best price tag. The Hotels that befit the requirement of customers with respect to quality and pricing have fair chance of winning them, at the first place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">In order to price better and win customers to their business, the Hotels need to know what their competitors are doing and what their pricing or customer strategies are. Watching and following business rivals is very important, because if both (hotels) are offering similar quality services and if one has a better pricing then customers would go with that supplier where they are getting better deals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Hence, to avoid losing customers to business rivals, hotels need to stay ahead of competitors and try to keep a close eye on all the business rivals (small and big) they have in the market. Doing market research and analysis would always help in knowing the number of competitors one has and about their strengths and weaknesses. Hotels need to evaluate all the aspects of their competitors, as this would make them compare their business with others and devise better strategies, accordingly.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"><br /></span><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"></span></p>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">In a business deal, at the end – it is ‘better pricing’ that scores over everything else. Hence, hotels need to know how their competitors are targeting customers and what their pricing strategies are. Visiting websites of all the competitors or comparing the price in all the portals on a routine manner, to know the offerings or prices is not an easy job, as it incurs lot of time and labor. However, hotels can overcome this challenge now, by adopting the<a href="http://www.webcrs.com/market_watch.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> WebCRS Market Watch</a>&nbsp;technology, using which they would no longer require visiting hundreds or thousands of websites of where the competitors have displayed the rates and availability.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="background: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">                     </span></div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Kuoni &#8211; the Zürich, Switzerland based Travel Company chooses to move out from tour operating activities in the Indian market. The company plans to concentrate efforts on its core business as a service provider, to the worldwide travel industry, governments and be a leading B-to-B player.</p>
<p>In the new set-up, Kuoni plans to reform its business in three divisions, viz. Global Travel Services, Global Travel Distribution and VFS Global. Long-standing growth is in the agenda of Kuoni, as the firm looks ahead focusing more on attractive and potential markets like Asia, Africa and the Middle East.</p>
<p>The travel and tourism sector has been constantly changing, with more and more companies going digital, to harmonize with the current market trend. Companies that are doing business still the traditional way are having the tough time, in the segment. As the travel portals equipped with most-recent technology have started generating good business, many companies that used to follow the conventional approach felt the need of redefining their business models.</p>
<p>The tour operating business of Kuoni was one, which got ‘affected’ the most by the changing market scenario in India. (Before divestment) The firm generated revenue about $2.15 billion in 2014 from its tour operating business.</p>
<p>The market did not affect Kuoni only, as even the British global travel company, Thomas Cook moved out from the Indian travel business, recently, signaling the threats that many foreign enterprises now feel from the local (Indian) companies.</p>
<p>Kuoni entered the Indian market in 1996, by buying 51 percent of stake in SOTC (which was already an established firm, then). In 1997, it acquired 100 percent of SOTC and established an identity as Kuoni Travel India. Sita World Travel joined the brigade of Kuoni in 2000 and the latter became one of the largest travel companies, in India. To address travelers in the Middle East market, Kuoni acquired the destination manager ‘Tour Club’, further.</p>
<p>During the course in the Indian market, the firm even launched FIT holidays for individual travelers, entered the domestic tourism segment with SOTC Holidays, opened an academy, initiated its luxury holiday brand in India and got hold of Distant Frontiers (in 2006).</p>
<p>After plans to divest the tour operating business in India, Kuoni expects to make profits through the reduced portfolio that it has now, comprised of Sita, Distant Frontiers and VFS Global.</p></div>
