Belize Hotel Association and Orchid Travel Network partner to provide online booking capability on www.belizehotels.org
The Belize Hotel Association (BHA) is pleased to announce it has partnered with Orchid Travel Network to implement a booking engine on its website in an effort to increase room revenues for member hotels. The Belize Hotel Association's website www.belizehotels.org can now receive online bookings from travel consumers. The BHA's website receives tremendous visibility, and the Orchid booking engine will allow for better sales conversion for this targeted traffic. Behind the significant amount of web visits daily are tangible sales leads - people who are trying to buy Belize travel services, but are unable to do so, simply because they are not being offered the option. With Orchid's advanced booking system (built inBelize to international industry standards, and tailored to the needs of Belize's travel industry), BHA can convert web visits into actual reservations for member properties.
