The TripAdvisor Module from BookingCenter has 2 key features, both included in a flat price of $30/month, which you can order by contacting BookingCenter. You can use one or both , tow, or all 3 of the programs below, as the price is the same.

Included in the TripAdvisor Module:

  • TripConnect or Instant Booking : Details on this program can be found on BookingCenter's website BookingCenter Trip Advisor Interface and on TripAdvisor's website, Trip Connect-How does it work? 
    Please be aware that TripAdvisor offers 2 variations on TripConnect :TripConnect requires a property to pay for clicks to their 'website' (a 'cost per click' - CPC - business model for getting people to book with you); and also a program called InstantBooking where TripAdvisor charges a commission for each booking.  Both programs fuflfill the same feature - offering rate and availability with a direct link to make a booking from your TripAdvisor page, circumventing OTA links such as Booking.com or Expedia.  But TripConnect requires payment up-front for 'clicks', and InstantBooking charges a commission for completed bookings.  BookingCenter supports both models, but a property has to choose with TripAdvisor (if desired), as they cannot be enrolled in both concurrently.
  • TripAdvisor Plus : Details on this program can be found on TripAdvisor's website, Trip Plus program. .   It is an 'add-on' to the Instant Booking program available either via the GDS systems or direct from BookingCenter, but is only available in select markets.
  • Review Express Details on this program can be found on BookingCenter's website BookingCenter Trip Advisor Interface and on TripAdvisor's website, Welcome to Trip Advisor - Review Express
