Respected West Coast Travel Agency Group Adopts OneLink's Signature
Booking/Settlement Service; WESTA Chief Cites Diverse Booking
Options, Strong User Interface OneLink Corporation (OTCBB:OLNK), a
provider of integrated global distribution and financial settlement
services to the travel and tourism industry, today announced that
the Western Association of Travel Agencies (WESTA) has formally
agreed to adopt Onelink's CCRAonelink.com travel reservations
portal for use by its members. WESTA, an agency network focused on
the needs of established, higher-volume travel agencies, further
extends the reach of OneLink's breakthrough pre-paid travel
services portal. WESTA is well-known throughout the western U.S.
for its innovative and comprehensive member services. The
organization offers a number of organized marketing programs
tailored to the needs of members and prides itself on paying
members 100 percent of all earned commissions and overrides. To
keep its standards high, WESTA restricts its membership only to
agencies that display a high degree of professionalism; it also
sets minimum requirements for annual gross sales and length of time
in business. "OneLink's CCRAonelink.com may be the only booking
portal I know of that covers both the premium and value ends of the
booking spectrum," said Mike Estill, general manager of WESTA. "By
assembling such a wide range of options, OneLink gives our members
a single place to satisfy the needs of many different clients.
What's more, the user interface is exceptionally strong and user
friendly, especially considering the difficulty in accommodating
complex booking rules online." Through its partnerships with
Amadeus, Sabre and Hotels.com, OneLink is currently able to offer
the most favorable rates on 80,000 hotel properties worldwide.
OneLink also strengthened its ability to offer industry-best hotel
rates through its acquisition of CCRA (Computerized Corporate Rate
Association) as part of its purchase of Reservations Center Inc. in
2005. The CCRAonelink.com portal gives travel agents the ability to
book reservations for travel products over the Internet, retaining
their commission upfront for certain types of domestic and
international bookings. OneLink's relationship with PayPal also
ensures immediate settlement coverage in all major international
markets including Europe, North America, and Australasia. "WESTA
places a high premium on supporting both the service and financial
sides of the agency business. OneLink's CCRAoneline.com portal is a
perfect fit due to its upfront commission payment and broad booking
network," said Bill Guerin, chairman and CEO of OneLink. "We are
pleased to offer WESTA members a worldwide global hotel
reservations capability that meets the needs of discerning leisure
travelers." WESTA expects to make the service available to its
members by the end of March. For more information about WESTA,
