Tripster, an Internet-reservation company focused on “drive-to” destinations, now offers travelers the confidence of “Guaranteed Lowest Rate” on much of the lodging listed on their websites. Travelers will be able to identify these properties by the Guaranteed Lowest Rate icon and know they will not find a cheaper rate anywhere else online. In fact, if a consumer makes a purchase and finds the same property, for the same dates and room type for a lower price, ReserveDirect will either pay the difference or allow the consumer to cancel their reservation without penalty.
Beyond the clear benefit for the traveler, travel suppliers see the advantage of offering room rates at these exclusive prices in order to build new revenue sources within a competitive market. Tripster has developed an innovative vendor management system that enables lodging suppliers to manage and set their own price points as well as indicate what price tiers qualify for the Guaranteed Lowest Rate program.
“We have a commitment to the relationships we have established within our destinations and want to give our customers the confidence that they are buying the best price without wasting time shopping on multiple websites,” says John Johnson, President of Tripster. “With all the questionable travel websites out there, customers will like knowing there’s a company backing up their lowest rate guarantee claims. We’re simply trying to operate a travel company that offers the types of benefits that we would want to find when planning our own vacations,” Johnson added.
Potential travelers can visit all of Tripster’s websites to see the lowest guaranteed rates on lodging for popular Ozark Mountain destinations of Branson, Missouri and Eureka Springs, Arkansas as well as Smoky Mountains-area favorites, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
