An innovative move for franchisees of Dream Vacations, the brand's Group Registration tool will now accept credit card payments in its online groups registration platform, which will give franchise business owners and their clients more flexibility. This tool allows franchisees to make and personalize professional group event websites that highlight itineraries, demonstrate amenity options, accept payments during the registration process in a secure manner, and more.
Brand Vice President of Informational Tech Sandi Szalay said that the franchiser is committed to providing its franchisees with the leading and innovative tech tools they need to operate their respective businesses, which lets them provide top service to clients. Having a tool that grabs basic booking information increases accuracy while enabling franchisees to spend more time enhancing their groups' experience and forming relationships.
The new payment function in the Group Registration aims to make group bookings easier for everyone involved, as franchisees will be able capture the initial booking information no matter what time of day and clients will be able to select their initial payment amount, with each cabin passenger being able to choose between paying together or individually. Dream Vacations franchisee Ron Beverly, Sr., of Pennsylvania, praised the move, saying it will eliminate some of the apprehension among larger client groups.
An International Franchise Association member and part of World Travel Holdings, Dream Vacations has earned the top-ranking "Partner of the Year" status from all of the major cruise lines, and they still have franchise opportunities available. The initial cost of one of the franchise opportunities with this brand is $9,800.
