What is Vacation Matrix? The Farematrix Team
Vacation Matrix allows you as a Travel Agent to gain a competitive advantage by simultaneously searching 10 Canadian Tour Operators in seconds. Vacation Matrix is a search and reservation system combining all the products from the various Canadian ITC and FIT Tour Operators onto a single screen.
Vacation Matrix automatically logs into each Tour Operator and in seconds displays the search results side by side, in a single browser page to easily compare prices. At this point you can click for more information about the product, or a detailed description of the Tour Package. If you wish to make a booking you will instantly be taken to the booking page of any of the Tour Operators for a quick and easy completion of your booking.
Who are the Current Tour Operators?
Air Transat Holidays, Alba, Conquest Vacations, Nolitour, Signature, Sunflight, Sunquest, Tour Maison, WOV, Air Canada Vacations. We are currently adding more new Tour Operators.
Why use Vacation Matrix?
With Vacation Matrix we give you the advantage of being able to stay one step ahead by checking all the relevant Tour Operators in seconds, leaving you feeling confident that you are quoting the lowest price possible. Currently, most Travel Agents use the GDS system to individually search each Tour Operator, which takes more and more time.
Saves Time
Today, a typical agent searches 5 to 10 Tour Operators when looking for a Vacation Package. However, their time is spent individually searching each Tour Operator one at a time on the GDS. Then if they find a Vacation Package they are interested in, they need to go to a brochure to look at that property for picture and a description. Vacation Matrix can search all the Tour Operators at once, over a specified date range and provides a link to the Vacation Packages description and pictures on the Tour Operators website. Wouldn’t it be better if that time were being used for selling travel, and not looking for it?
Increases Agent Efficiency
You will have access to one web site, which will display all the options for the requested package. The need to visit each Tour Operators separately on the GDS is eliminated. The result is a significant reduction in process costs. The system will not only take you to the desired Tour Operator, but has already logged your agency in so you are ready to book. Therefore, you are eligible for each individual Tour Operators commissions the same as if you booked the Tour Operator on your GDS or over the telephone.
