The first page of the Booking Engine can be customized with a Banner, Hotel Description and Images. To edit these information, please follow the instructions below.
However, many customers to choose to avoid this page entirely, and use the Quick Reservation feature on their website to present a clear 'call to action' accepting 'Arrival Date" and 'Departure Date' so that, when submitted, the user gets availability results from the Booking Engine for those dates. This approach has been shown to generate more bookings - look at major hotel websites and this is how they implement the Booking Engine. We describe how you can do this in this KnowledgeBase article.
