Tourism is one of the main revenue drivers on the Internet. More and more Internet users plan and book their travels online. Many guesthouses and small hotels are already benefitting from the award-winning website builder STRATO LivePages by easily and cost-effectively creating a professional online presence for their businesses. These customers now profit from the cooperation between STRATO and protel: The integration of protel`s web-based hotel management and booking software bookatonce now allows businesses to be bookable online even easier and more conveniently.
With bookatonce, LivePages customers can now integrate a graphic availability calendar into their website displaying which rooms are available and when. It's quick, easy and it's free. This exclusive offer for LivePages customers additionally includes an individually configurable room rate list and a booking wizard. This booking wizard assists the guests with the entire online booking procedure. Only once a guest actually books a room via the website a small usage fee of 0.95 Euro (net) per booking is due. Further modules with a variety of functions, such as extended accounting or marketing functions, can optionally be added directly from bookatonce.
Working with LivePages does not require any programming knowledge. With LivePages even an Internet novice will easily be able to create sophisticated private and commercial websites in only five simple steps. Stefan Westphal, Technical Manager at bookatonce: "With cooperations like this one we want to help our customers to be present and bookable online. This is the only way that small businesses, too, can profit from the ever-growing online market. In order for systems to communicate smoothly with one another though, innovative software architecture and open interfaces are required. This is why at bookatonce this has the highest priority."

About bookatonce
bookatonce is a web-based hotel software of Dortmund`s protel hotelsoftware GmbH. While protel`s main product lines focus on large hotels and hotel chains, bookatonce offers cost-effective hotel management and online booking for small hotels, guesthouses and holiday homes. What distinguishes bookatonce from other hotel management software is that bookatonce runs entirely online. This means that the hotelier registers with bookatonce, configures "his bookatonce" version according to his business and can then access and manage his rooms and guest from anywhere.
