Increase your customer service and selling skills - with this interactive system.

“Ready to Book” is a simulated system that resembles the Viewdata booking system. Viewdata remains the travel trade’s favourite system to book traditional package holidays and charter flights.

Students who use "Ready to Book” will feel like they are working on a live system as it enables students to book package holidays for a range of clients i.e. singles, groups and families to popular holiday destinations in a free format manner (there are no restrictions with this system, it operates like a live system).

It works in conjunction with a selection of Tour Operators brochures to allow the student experience what it is really like to work as a Travel Agent and to further increase their knowledge of Tour Operators products. Their knowledge of popular holiday destinations i.e. Majorca, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Algarve, Costa del Sol etc., will greatly increase as will their knowledge of the properties that different Tour Operators include in their package holidays.
