5. Booking request sharing and confirmation

Last updated

Once the customer responds with the approval / make the payment (either through the payment link or through the link in the quotation file) then we proceed with the booking.  

Payment confirmation & Booking policy 

We must send the Payment confirmation template to the customer (You can find it here). In this message we: 

  • Thank the customer for the payment 
  • Inform them of the time frame to receive the confirmation (before or after 6 hours for hotel / time frame for flights) 
  • Explain our booking confirmation policy to the customer 

Example: 

When using payment link/instant discount- (more than 6 hours before end of the shift) confirmation will be sent end of today 

Thank you for your payment, Mr/Ms. “—– “.  
Please note that our booking process may take up to 6 hours as we work to secure the best available rate and confirm room availability for you. 

In accordance with GTO’s standard terms and conditions, there may be rare instances where a product or service becomes unavailable. Should this occur, we will notify you promptly and will be pleased to provide a quotation for an alternative product or service of your choice. Alternatively, you may request a refund

We will process your booking and finalise it as soon as possible. Kindly note, the confirmation will be sent no later than the end of today.
