Speedy ABTAWeb site helps net swift bit of new business
We at Atlas Air in the West End of London write to praise the ABTA Web site at www.abtanet.com.co.uk.The site is a very good business tool that contains loads of information. What particularly impressed us was the ability to make a specialist search on certain areas, to single out just one of the many useful aspects.
As an example, we had a client who wanted a holiday in Tuscany. In less than 10 seconds, the site listed five operators specialising in this area. Furthermore, on the same page there is the facility to e-mail each company at the touch of a button.
We e-mailed three companies for brochures. One in particular responded very quickly with the brochure in our post box the next working day, namely Tuscan Holidays in Cumbria. As a result of the speed and efficiency of both the ABTA site and the tour operator, we won the business.
Our client was impressed at the way we managed to narrow down the operators that featured the resort and thus gave us another booking to Greece.
Keep up the good work ABTAand a big thanks and praise to Tuscan Holidays in Cumbria for their response. We hope all operators and agents follow in the footsteps of Tuscan Holidays.
