Image Holidays Ltd. has been providing travel accommodations in Athens, Greece
and the Greek islands since 1984. When the company’s accommodation providers made the move to the internet, the need for the Greek Accommodation Center became clear. “Incorporating real-time technology in hotel reservations at the quality resorts, apartments and villas in Athens, Greece and the Greek islands benefits e-consumers, travel agents and property owners alike. This development begins a very exciting time for the e-lodging industry, giving e-consumers the instant confirmations and discount rates they want,” said Karalis.

In the past, booking hotel reservations online has been a frustrating process for e-consumers; instead of making a reservation, they had to make a request and wait to receive their confirmation at a later date, because the website was not online with the hotel reservation system. The Greek Accommodation Center resolves this situation by working in sync with hotel reservation systems to issue instant confirmations, bringing the fulfillment ability to booking accommodations that e-consumers enjoy in other types of e-commerce transactions.
Real-Time Technology Welcomed by Hospitality Professionals
Forrester Research conducted a study in 2001, which revealed that only 6% of property owners thought that Global Distribution Systems’ conventional design met their current business demands. Many property owners and travel agents have been actively pursuing new methods to keep pace with e-consumers who prefer online travel planning. The Greek Accommodation Center provides property owners with a vehicle to satisfy e-consumers demands, as they add confirmed, real-time booking functionality. http://www.greece-ontheweb.com/images/geo/astron_out_small.jpg" vspace=”25″ align=”left” width=”150″ height=”125″>For travel agents who are interested in utilizing the Greek Accommodation Center to service their clients, the http://www.greece-ontheweb.com/Agent_Registration_Form.htm”> registration form is available on the website. By 2005 it is expected more than 60 percent of hotel revenue will come from online sales and partnerships.
“E-commerce satisfies today’s busy e-consumer by delivering instant gratification; they can make purchases easily, conveniently and securely. This instant purchase fulfillment ability has been the missing element from the e-lodging industry until now and the goal of the Greek Accommodation Center is to fulfill the
e-consumers expectations. For the traveller who prefers to handle their own accommodation arrangements, receiving their confirmation online directly from the hotel reservation system saves them time, and the special pre-negotiated rates of the Greek Accommodation Center saves them money,” explained Karalis. http://www.greece-ontheweb.com/images/geo/cavotagoo4_small.jpg" vspace=”25″ align=”right” width=”150″ height=”125″>
