Travel agents can now avoid cancellation costs for a nominal fee
(Dubai, xx August 2015) Gateway, a leading online hotel enginecontent wholesaler, has established itself as a pioneer in the market by introducing cancellation insurance for hotel bookings.
For every hotel reservation made in Gateway2Travel, insurance can now be added for a nominal fee of AED 35 for a booking total of less than AED 5,500, and AED 70 for a booking total of more than AED 5,500. This allows agents to cancel a booking free of charge until the day of check-in.
With the insurance option, travel agents have greater flexibility while booking hotels. High cancellation costs and the resulting claim process can now be easily avoided. The low insurance fee is available for an entire booking regardless of the number rooms booked. The option can also be set as default for every booking made through the system.
Says Mr. Shahjahan Syed, Regional Sales Manager GCC and the Middle East for Gateway: “Gateway is known for providing user-friendly and innovative solutions to customers. We are constantly upgrading our system to make the booking process easier for agents. With the cancellation insurance, agents can now avoid cancellation costs. Once the insurance option is selected, agents will be able to cancel the booking until the day of check-in without providing any reason.”
