In the Internet's pioneer days when it first announced itself to the industry with a roar, travel intermediaries picked up quickly on its potential, and were thus able to penetrate far ahead of hotels.

Today, they steadily strengthen their position in the marketplace, and with serious efforts on marketing strategy, product and system development they have won the hearts of quite a number of online travelers. Hotels finally woke up to the challenge, and are attempting to catch up. Still, intermediaries continue to play an important role in driving online reservations.

Pelican System thus supports its clients, partnering three travel intermediaries focused on Asian destinations, with www.orientholiday.com , www.asiaselection.com , and www.thailandselection.com . Hotels will be listed and awarded attractive exposure in the web world, with real-time reservations allowing sales to be immediately closed. In order to enhance booking, these websites offer valuable resources to travelers – such as maps, country data, visa requirements and other important information.

About Pelican System
Pelican is an Internet-based reservation system designed to manage all types of bookings, whether made directly by guests or through travel agents and corporate clients.

For Internet users (direct guests) Pelican will provide instant confirmation of reservations made through the hotel web site, and will notify the hotel' reservation department though automatically generated e-mail messages.

For travel agents and corporate clients Pelican offers a feature called "Online Contracting," which eliminates the need for paper-based, fixed-term contracts, allowing the hotel to set and adjust rates and allotments instantly according to seasonal period, special events, or unexpected demand.
