New Booking Tool for Home Based Travel Agents

EZguider will be formally launched in January after a pilot program in December with a select group of travel agents who will become advocates for the new platform.

"EZguider," said HomeBased-TravelAgents.com President, Paul Davis, "will be a first for the home based travel industry, providing home based travel agents with the ability to search and book preferred supplier products - including tour, cruise and insurance from a single, easy-to-use desktop tool."

According to Mr.Davis "EZguider will be the home based travel industry's leading search and booking tool. It will push the envelop in the home travel agent host industry, dramatically separating HomeBased-TravelAgents.com from its competitors in the eyes of home based travel agents."

"EZguider brings it all together in one solution, and that is the key to this tool," noted Mr. Davis, adding that agents using the tool will be able to search once to locate, price and compare a wide variety of products among all their preferred suppliers.

EZguider eliminates the chore of home based travel agents to search and book among multiple platforms and provides them with the same search and booking environment no matter which preferred supplier they are using.

EZguider provides comprehensive information on cruises, tours, insurance and other ancillary products and can be accessed by members via the AgentNet desktop portal. Agents can see side-by-side product comparisons, price quotes and quickly access exclusive specials.

The new platform's features include:
1. No software installation required.
2. Intuitive search.
3. Detailed vacation content from preferred suppliers, including tour, cruise and insurance, which can be combined via a shopping basket.
4. Client records and booking management and tracking.

"EZguider will be compatible with the other software now being used by our member agents" said Mr. Davis.
