With increasing usage of smart phones, computer pads/tablets, laptops and netbooks, retail consumers do not want to spent time searching multiple websites, making phone calls or emailing booking requests, but want, with a click of the mouse, to have access to a wide range of travel and tourism related products and services that is available through a global network of reservation distribution systems and sales channels to make their travel planning easier.

The next generation of internet based travel and tourism reservation and distribution systems, uses powerful 'non proprietary', multi-platform 'Cloud' based reservation and distribution software technology, offering powerful pre-built customizable functionality, delivering features, benefits and price performance, that allows them to out perform any other product of its type in the market place today. These systems are designed for accommodation, tour, events companies, ferry, airline and bus operators, restaurants, rental boat agencies, rental vehicle operators, website owners, online travel agents, walk in travel agencies, regional tourism agencies, online magazines, etc.

With this generation of reservation and distribution technology, allows for 'Open Distribution' of tourism and travel related products and services to be available across multiple distribution networks and sales channels, enabling retail customers to check availability, pricing and make instant confirmation bookings or create their own travel holiday in real time, by using itinerary building technology, by selecting from a wide range of tourism products and services and be able to make payments through one payment gateway from their smart phone, computer pad/tablet, netbook, laptop or PC regardless of what website, agent or sale channel they are booking through.

Couple with this reservation distribution technology, is an internet based virtual global support services network - that uses real time live chat and/or VOIP (voice over internet protocol) phone technology embedded into web sites, where potential consumers can chat or using a range of international 'In Country' local phone numbers, can call a live consultant for travel assistance in making their reservation/s - 24 hours a day - 7 days a week regardless of time zones and languages.
