TripAdvisor Module
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 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 : the first one, TripConnect, has a property paying for clicks to their 'website' (a 'pay per click' - PPC - business model for getting people to book with you) and also a program called InstantBooking where TripAdvisor charges a commission for each booking. At this time, BookingCenter is NOT offering the InstantBooking option, only TripConnect. So, make sure to select TripConnect when adding the feature from within TripAdvisor. 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 will eventually support the InstantBooking in the future. - 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
