Description

The sales system of travel goods which has multi level enumeration within internet environment}

The internet-based centralized distribution service for travel products according to the present invention is a service of a conventional travel agency in which a reservation or payment for a travel product is made through the Internet, and is determined according to the operation of specialized services or differential schedules between travel agencies. It aims to remove the difficulty of securing additional customers imminent on the service delivery date or the huge expense expenditure for promotion and marketing and to provide synergy effect of customer satisfaction by increasing income. Conventional travel agency booking and service providing method for each travel agency is generally known to each travel agency that operates the website, the customer first knows the name of the travel agency through a magazine or introduction or randomly indexed through a search engine, etc. In this case, a certain percentage of customers accessing the website is made through magazines, introductions, or past experiences (satisfaction), and in this case, the travel agency provides various events and events in order to raise awareness and response to their brand. Through advertising, various strategies are established and a lot of incidental costs are incurred.

Another way to access a customer's travel agency website is when the customer uses a search engine, where the customer preferentially searches the 10-15 pages of the first page displayed and indexed by the search engine due to the nature of the search. Sites that are relatively searched but the location of the array is located on the back page may be less likely to acquire the opportunity of preemption. To solve this problem, the cost of adjusting the ranking or securing the position of the site is provided. This also poses a cost burden.

However, the expenditures for the promotion and marketing of travel products such as travel agencies are a natural result. Rather, the cost is lower than that of the offline broadcasting or magazine publications. In this case, there is an advantage that it is easy to calculate the result of the expenditure.

Nevertheless, the most important of the few cases where this online approach is not greatly favored is that the company's travel schedule inquiries and bookings by the operation of the online website require a certain amount of time gaps.

In other words, when a customer searches for a travel product through a travel agency and makes a reservation, it is necessary for the customer to carry out an activity on a spontaneous and temporary basis, such as an activity seen in another cultural medium, such as a movie ticket or a gift voucher at a department store. The time interval is not short.

Therefore, the customer collects the travel plan through the long-term plan and based on this, he searches for the travel agency that provides the proper schedule, and among them, he selects the company's products that provide the optimized service for him. As a result, it is a tough task that requires not only a travel agency but also a user to search for a considerable amount of time and require some knowledge of the search engine.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, to reduce the waste of time for the customer, and to provide a travel agency a higher opportunity to sell the travel products, to double the complementary development and income of the customer and the travel agency will be.

To this end, it is necessary to establish a database of travel agencies and users, which means the operation of a single integrated site. The system receives discount information on packaged goods that are about to depart or use date from each travel agency. Each travel agency is registered as a member on the integrated management website for providing to the customer, and the data is classified into entities and attributes in a certain form so that the extracted information can be managed in real time by applying a differential discount rate. To provide the customer through another route, the contents provided include departure immigration imposed separately in addition to any travel-related basic information including the name, location, date, price, value-added services, etc. Discount on product offers real-time booking service In addition, the user can directly access the URL of the integrated site of the present invention instead of searching through a conventional search engine, and can search various information on the real-time reservation status of the travel agency and travel products, and the minimum number of departures is determined. For travel products that have been purchased (immediate departure date), it is possible to purchase travel products at a discounted price, increasing satisfaction, and the travel agent is released from the huge advertising expenses and at the same time, the remaining amount (ticket, seat, package) By incorporating the information into a traveler quickly, additional disposal (sales) is possible, providing stable profits without the individual dumping process, such as discounted tickets.

In order to achieve the above object, the Internet-based travel and leisure product sales system having a differential discount step by counting the temporal flow according to the present invention has a database for a paid member table (travel agency) and a free member table (customer). In order to improve the search efficiency of free member customers through real-time processing of input information for and paid members, and mutual exclusion through transaction processing on the rules on reservation processing of free member customers.
