CCRA has launched a new hotel booking platform, TripSet.com,
replacing CCRATravel.com. Air and car rental options are expected to roll out
on the platform later this year.
TripSet has been in development for more than a year, CCRA
president and CEO Dic Marxen said. He called the new platform "light years
ahead of where we were," thanks to its search interface, booking process
and reporting capabilities.
The tool has search-by-map functionality and enables users
to save searches.
To register for the platform, an agency must be accredited
by ARC, IATA, CLIA or TRUE. CCRATravel accounts will not automatically be
transferred to TripSet. Booking activity on CCRATravel will stop Nov. 1,
but all active bookings can be accessed and serviced until travel is complete.
