Re-inventing Vouchers as a Dynamic Yielding & Packaging Tool for Hotels

17th August 2021

SEANET International is pleased to present the TravelOne Voucher Program, an innovative voucher management system which empowers hotels to better harness the use of vouchers dynamically & efficiently as a marketing tool with multiple sales channels to enhance yield & generate cashflow

The TravelOne Voucher Program epitomises the collaboration between SEANET, a leading travel technology firm in Thailand & Trip Affiliates Network (TA Network), a leading cloud based turn-key travel technology solutions provider, headquartered in Singapore with regional offices in Bangkok, Jakarta & Ho Chi Minh. It allows hotels to create standard vouchers, credit vouchers & multiple room booking passes which can also be utilised across multiple hotels in a chain hotel. In addition, unlike most existing voucher systems which are standalone modules which require significant manual effort to track & process redemptions, the TravelOne Voucher Program is seamless integrated with hotel systems which enables hotels to streamline & automate the redemption of vouchers & corresponding room booking process

Currently, most hotels are using standalone voucher systems which only support static pricing & offline manual redemption processes. This invariably limits the usefulness of vouchers as hotels look for more dynamic & online sales & marketing tools. Post COVID, however, we are seeing a rise in interest amongst hotels to sell vouchers to generate sales with flexible booking terms primarily to generate immediate cashflow

Siripoj Arunanondchai, Director TravelOne Thailand said, “The launch of the TravelOne Voucher Program is very timely new service for our hotel clients who are looking for more dynamic yielding & packaging tools, broader access to alternative online sales channels & yet enjoy significant productivity gains by letting their customers redeem & book their preferred hotel rooms online”

The TravelOne Voucher Program gives hotels the ability to up-sell the entire suite of hotel services, packages or products as well as 3rd party activities, individually or seamlessly as part of a dynamic package & supported by their preferred local partners or the ecosystem of travel operators. This allows hotels to focus on increasing direct bookings, return guests & customer loyalty by creating more targeted vouchers or packages for sale to their customers while TravelOne focus on facilitating broader customer reach through alternative online sales channels & yet allow hotels to centrally manage & automate the redemption of vouchers sold across multiple channels

Added Siripoj Arunanonchai, “For our inaugural launch we have signed up over 50 local hotels which includes the following hotel chain partners in Thailand like Sukosol Group, Santhiya Group & SeaView Group of hotels. The adoption of a flexible voucher system enhances the ability of our hotel clients to create or design meaningful sales campaigns as hotels & their channel partners start to rebuild tourism across the region. We are excited to showcase the key tech competencies of TravelOne as an additional 100 hotel chains & hotels have expressed interest join the TravelOne ecosystem within Thailand & across the region

Josef Foo, Managing Partner TA Network commented, “We are delighted to partner with TravelOne to launch this new dynamic voucher innovation for hotels in Thailand. It complements our hotel direct booking service which empowers hotels to enhance & broaden their direct booking partnerships with their agents & corporates. Our partnership is a wonderful example of the synergies in bringing together local expertise, network & collective product & technology expertise to engage industry partners & address their pain points and digital needs.”
