OLNK OneLink Corporation (CE)

OneLink Corporation (OTCBB:OLNK), a provider of seamlessly integrated booking and settlement processing services for travel suppliers and their distributors, is pleased to report that all industry niches are using its new CCRA portal, which went live in March. OneLink's initial feedback shows that users are overwhelmingly satisfied with the system's superior features, aggregated content, reliable functionality and pre-paid commissions. "The net-rate bookings with up-front commissions are a great advantage and will definitely impact our bottom line," said Wayne Coven, CEO of Empress Travel in New York City. "Before CCRA offered this option, I would book a room in a hotel somewhere and pray to see a commission in six months, if at all. Now I know I'm getting it at the time the booking is complete." He added, "Because of the way the system is set up, I can set my commissions to what I think is fair for my customers, so they pay less than what they would if they booked the trip themselves and we still make a profit, which is not always easy in this business." Coven, who employs seven agents in his office, books a variety of travel, from tours to cruises to business trips, and said the system will be useful for all purposes, and will be used by all of his agents. He added that his agents have found the system to be stable and reliable, as well as easy to use. "The promise of OneLink's research and development over the last several years is finally paying off with the satisfaction and system adoption of agents around the world," said Bill Guerin, chairman and CEO of OneLink Corporation, parent company of CCRA. "Every agency that sees the portal, from sole proprietors to large consortia, realizes that the CCRA portal gives them more options to satisfy clients while expanding their revenue opportunities. That is a recipe for success for any business." One of the other major benefits agents have cited is the portal's vast inventory of more than 80,000 lodging properties globally. Don Gould, president of 200-agent Gould Travel Marketing in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., said that the portal will help his agents improve cash flow while increasing operating efficiencies. "We are going to be enrolling more of our agents in order to get them access to the aggregated content that will satisfy our clients," Gould said. But it's not just large agencies and networks that are attracted to the CCRA portal. "CCRA is now the first place I look for rooms," said Carly Olson, sole proprietor of Advantage Travel in St. Joseph, Mich. "The rates are very easy to find and book," she said, adding that the variety of content means that she can pick the best rate for her clients from a wide array of opportunities. She also noted the upfront commission options will improve the profitability for her agency, and others like it. "I'll use less of other services and more of CCRA going forward." Olson's service is focused on booking travel for large groups and family vacations, which usually involves several hotels over multiple weeks. She estimated that she will use the service to book rooms for as many as 750 to 1,000 travelers this year. Agents outside the U.S. are also finding the benefits of the CCRA portal. Anna Goruk, an agent with Travel Professional International, an agency based in Calgary in the Alberta province of Canada, has worked in the industry for more than five years. She said she found the CCRA portal offers the widest selection and greatest ease of use of any hotel booking system she's ever seen. "CCRA is the first place I will go to book hotel rooms from now on," said Goruk. "I'm definitely telling my friends in this business to use it."
