GreenTree Inn - The First Hotel in China to Offer Online Flight Reservations
JULY 20. 2009 - GreenTree Inn (ww.998.com) recently collaborated with one of the famous online travel agencies in China, Travelzen (Travelzen.com), and opened up a new service that allows guests to make airplane ticket reservations on the hotel's official website. It is the first one in China. Moreover, GreenTree members can enjoy a 3% discount airplane ticket if they make the reservation on GreenTree's website. This service offers a one-stop, beyond value ticket service for guests inside the country and aboard.
From now on, guests can sign onto GreenTree's official website (998.com) and find a new airplane ticket reservation platform next to the hotel's. Through this platform, guests can directly go to Travelzen's airplane ticket search platform and find information about all the flights in China and abroad. They can make or adjust their schedules flexibly, enjoy the beyond valuable services, and figure out any possible problem in the trip in advance.
Currently, most Chinese hotels help guests make flight reservations by offering phone services or setting up counters for traditional airplane ticket agencies in the hotel lobby. Since this service is not 24/7, it causes inconvenience for guests; for example, they may not get the correct price information or be able to make reservations because the information is not immediately accessible. Long-distance guests have to make hotel and airplane reservations separately, which may cause them trouble. Because of the successful collaboration between GreenTree and Travelzen, consumers can not only search the ticket and price information on the website but also pay and get digital tickets online. This method saves a lot of labor and time costs, gives customers more convenience and better prices, and allows users to take care of the hotel and travel arrangements at the same time.
Mr. Hanyi, Vice President of GreenTree's marketing department, said, "GreenTree's goal is to offer high-quality services in all aspects to its guests. This online flight reservation system is not for GreenTree to make a profit, but rather to satisfy the real requests of travelers. This is why GreenTree is still offering a 3% discount for its members when the room price is already very low. Travelzen owns state-of-art techniques and has plenty of resources, which makes it a great partner for GreenTree to offer better online travel services. This new technique with GreenTree's advanced management concepts can improve the capacity and quality of GreenTree's service and give the ultimate benefits to customers.
