January 2006
Supplement to Travel Trade

In gearing up for 2006, CIE Tours has recently launched a new state-of-the-art Web site, offering better navigation menus, easy access to product details, online booking and detailed information on our tours. It is a great selling and support tool for all Home Based agents.

Book a Motorcoach Tour
The fresh layout is designed to be easier to use and interfaces with our reservations system so that you can log on and book any of the full range of CIE Tours’ products. You can search through our full range of motorcoach tours in a variety of ways — destination, trip length, travel period, land price or keyword. The new format offers more details on each motorcoach tour, including the ability to print out the itinerary, inclusions, prices and departure dates. You can click onto each hotel to get photographs and details of guestrooms, restaurants, bars and locations. Once you have checked out a tour thoroughly, you can book it through the user-friendly screens.

Airfares
You can book airfares live through our system to match up with clients’ travel dates. We offer a wide variety of gateway cities, airlines and fare types, including the lower-priced instant purchase fares.

Independent Travel
CIE Tours offers self-drive vacations with open vouchers for B & Bs or hotels in Ireland and/or Britain. With our enhanced Web site, you can choose from a wide variety of car rentals. Based city stays in London, Edinburgh or Dublin are popular with coach passengers as well as independent travelers.

How to Book Client Vacations
Prior to booking online, your agency will register with us, also online. Each agency will have one user id, which is the agency’s 8-digit IATA number, and one agency-selected unique password. The agency profile will also have one E-mail address associated with it. This user id and password will be necessary for all online activities. Additional agents within an agency will be able to access the system with the agency user id and password.

Book our products 24/7
Our system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We know that Home Based agents work outside traditional office hours; our system now enables you to book at any time that is convenient for you.
