Travel agency booking engine

With the latest update to the TACT (Travel Agents and Corporate Travel) module, we are excited to launch our travel agent booking engine powered by SwiftBook.


This new feature brings travel agency bookings directly into the hotel’s booking ecosystem, ensuring every booking from travel partners is managed through a unified experience.

Why is this important for real estate?

The hospitality industry thrives on relationships, and travel agencies remain an important part of that network. They connect hotels with new markets, manage group travel and drive consistent bookings, particularly in the corporate and extended-stay segments.

But until now, managing travel agency bookings often meant dealing with separate links, manual reporting, or inconsistent booking processes. With a travel agency booking engine powered by SwiftBook, these barriers disappear.

This upgrade ensures your travel agency partners enjoy a smooth, brand-consistent booking journey, while your hotels gain better visibility, clearer data and tighter distribution control.

1) Unified design alignment

The travel agency booking engine now matches your hotel's booking engine theme and color configuration. Whether your hotel uses a Wairua theme or another theme, travel agents will see the same visual experience, ensuring consistent branding across all channels.

2) Multi-user access for travel agencies

Each travel agency partner can now create multiple user accounts under their main profile. This means each team member can log in using their unique credentials, making it easier to track who made which reservation.

3) Clear reservation attribution

Both hotels and travel agencies can easily identify the agent or sub-user responsible for the booking. User details are displayed in the booking module (POS), booking export and travel agent booking tabs, thereby increasing transparency and accountability.

The new interface includes a secondary menu and price breakdown tools. Hotels can also collect additional guest details, such as special requests or estimated arrival time, for smoother check-in and personalized service.

Familiar processes will only become smarter
