Instant Software Group, GuestClick Introduce ``VacationClick'' Reservation Brand; Empowering Vacation Rental Property Managers to Market through Global Distribution Systems
Business Wire, June 23, 2005
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Instant Software Group is pleased to announce VacationClick, a sophisticated new reservation brand for the vacation rental property marketplace. Instant Software has teamed up with GuestClick, a Bonita Springs, Fla., based firm with substantial experience developing distribution channel management and reservation systems for major hotel brands.
VacationClick, scheduled for an August launch, will enable travel agents and retail travel sites to book tens of thousands of vacation rental properties across North America through a centralized network. VacationClick will sell through the same global distribution systems used by airlines, hotels and resorts that use travel agents and travel Web sites.
Each of Instant Software's property management systems - PropertyPlus, Entech and First Resort - will be capable of connecting to VacationClick via Instant Software's ISI Link. VacationClick will then connect these properties to more than 100,000 travel agents around the world through the major global distribution systems. These global distribution system connections will also make vacation rental properties available for sale on many major travel Web sites.
Whenever a VacationClick reservation opportunity occurs on a connected travel agency or on an Internet site, the property manager's system will automatically be contacted by ISI Link to see if there are properties available for the dates requested, and at what price. If available, a property will be offered for booking. When the property is reserved, the property manager's local system will be instantly updated with the full details.
Vacation rental properties will also be featured on http://www.vacationclick.com and a newly improved http://www.stay-usa.com Web site.
Instant Software Group and VacationClick will now provide the power of global distribution systems and Internet travel Web sites to independent vacation rental property managers.
