The set up of your booking engine is the first & most important step. I cannot help you with this.
But the second step determines if you will be “the next” consecutive booking engine in the Net or something different!
The keystones are:
1. Correct professional Geo database & correct mapping – states, cities, villages, locations, regions, resorts, airports, stations, hotels.
2. Phonetic, linguistic and grammatical tolerance – without the countless drop-down menus (sometimes in different languages) who “must” be opened, reviewed and selected many times before starting each search in the system.
3. Thematic search engine which will show to the client
(with 1 type only) the thematically related things (cities, villages, locations, airports, stations, attractions), not only the correct phonetically typed words (cities).
Example 1 : typing PARIS
you can see all Paris locations & find also
Versailles, Beauvais, Barizon, Chantilly, CDG, ORY, Disney, Fontainebleau ……
Like that You will become “The Google of the booking engines” and not one of the many booking systems. Sufficient are some less complex configurations during programming of the booking engine.
