Nelios.com develops first real-time combined travel booking website in Greece to boost travel agent sales and hotel bookings.

Representing the sole Greek company to create the first real-time combined booking website based in Greece for the travel industry, Nelios.com has just launched Electronictickets.gr, set to be the ultimate online dynamic travel package facility in the country.

The new site, which belongs to Stefanakis Tours in Rhodes, is seamlessly connected in real time to two massive bed banks. The site can sell location-specific hotels based on direct contracts and in real-time occupancy, packaged with cost-effective airline tickets at a touch of a button. "Combining the power of travel agents with hotels and airlines into one real-time site is a sure-fire way to increase bookings for all three," says Dimitris Serifis, Business Development Manager at Nelios.com. "Internet marketing statistics and user habits have demonstrated the importance of this facility which we call dynamic packaging, and which has become increasingly valuable in times of financial crisis" he adds.

Most importantly, these combined packages can boost profits while still giving discounts to travellers by effectively cutting out the middlemen. The development of dynamic packaging in the UK market in recent years is now considered the most productive and user friendly way to sell holidays via the Internet.

Such sites, including the first Greek model 'electronictickets.gr', are connected to flight consolidators (wholesale agents offering flights at lower rates) with a database that includes all major carriers, charter flight operators and low cost airlines. Electronictickets.gr also has access to a database of more than 85,000 hotels to choose from. In addition, because Nelios.com has its head offices in Athens, Greece, it can negotiate advantageous contracts that link local hotels with travel agents anywhere in the world who want to offer Greece as a cost-effective destination.

One primary advantage that Nelios.com's site has over traditional dynamic packaging ones is in the way it is organised for the user. Rather than presenting search results as a set of flight and accommodation options, it breaks down the procedure in two steps: filling a brief form and selecting the flight. "The results for the hotel are then filtered according to what flight you choose" says Serifis. "This matches hotels in close proximity to the destination, a major user consideration that was revealed through online surveys in the UK."

Armed with intimate knowledge about navigation preferences and web-based online travel habits, Nelios.com plans to target the European market with its online facilities, attracting visitors to Greece particularly from the UK. Nelios.com is the first to adopt new technology in the country which brings synergistic benefits to all players involved, with plans for other exciting services in the future.
