LOWCOSTBEDS LAUNCHES NEW TRADE WEBSITE

lowcostbeds.com has launched a new travel trade dedicated website. It claims lowcostbedsagents.com is 95% faster than rival websites due to its state-of-the-art technology.

The site features a new search-and-book tool and delivers, according to its developers, up to 700 search results in under three seconds.

A new feature, called 'Manage My Booking', allows agents to view, amend and cancel bookings online.

The 'Dynamic Results Filtering' tool enables agents to organise results to suit a customer's budget and preferences for resort, board basis, star rating and property facilities.

New search results pages have also been created to give agents a summary of which properties offer free children's places, early booking discounts, free nights and free upgrades.

Tim Buckman, sales director for lowcostbeds, said:

"This year more so than ever we are enjoying some fantastic offers from our suppliers and having the ability to direct agents to these deals is crucial."

Steve Campion, managing director of Holiday Discount Centres, a lowcostbeds customer, said the feedback from reservation consultants had been positive.

"Our team are delighted with the new site, which is fast and simple to use from both a sales and administrational perspective. It really brings the best in what lowcostbeds have to offer to our consultants."

Agents which register at lowcostbedsagents.com are eligible for 15% commission on bookings.
