Business Wire
OneLink Corporation (OTCBB:OLNK), a provider of integrated global
distribution and financial settlement services to the travel and
tourism industry, announced today that its CCRA business unit has
completed the final phase of the initial roll out of its
CCRAonelink.com portal. Over the last week, member agents of its
seven travel agent consortia and travel trade association clients
have been actively booking lodging arrangements for their clients
at destinations worldwide and receiving their commissions up-front
for the first time ever. CCRAonelink.com is built on OneLink's
exclusive transaction processing platform, and also contains
advanced functionality and content aggregation features not found
in other systems. "With this rollout, thousands of North American
travel agents can now book accommodations for their clients with
the assurance that they have access to the most competitive rates
and will receive commissions for their service without a delay or
collection effort," said Bill Guerin, Chairman and CEO of OneLink
Corporation. "The introduction of the OneLink technology that
powers CCRA's portal is a major milestone for OneLink Corporation,
and presents the opportunity for travel agents and travel vendors
to enjoy both new revenue streams and reduced costs of doing
business." The portal went live several days before this
announcement, but OneLink elected not to announce the breakthrough
until each of CCRA's initial consortia and trade association
partners were successfully connected to the system and actively
using it. Those partners include: IT Group, Vacation.com, OSSN,
NACTA, WESTA, Cruise Shoppes and the American Society of Travel
Agents (ASTA). With the completion of the initial roll-out, 24,000
North American travel agencies, representing over $30 billion in
retail travel sales, can now log on to the CCRAonelink.com portal
and book from an inventory of 80,000 hotels provided by lodging
suppliers that include, amongst others, Amadeus and Hotels.com.
OneLink Corporation acquired CCRA, a leading and long-established
hotel marketing service, with its acquisition of Reservation
Center, Inc. in 2005. Since then, the company has refined the
service and CCRA+ portal, renamed CCRAonelink.com, to incorporate
OneLink's pioneering concept. ABOUT ONELINK CORPORATION OneLink
