To be able to share the GTO confirmation file with the customer, we need to follow the below steps:
- Search for the quotation using the quotation reference number: This can be found on top of the Quotation file, and it has numbers and letters.
EX: U52604C12132T176875643347859
- Open the Quotation file. In the bottom, you press on “To be booked”
- This will open the attachments section “To be booked proof”, where you can attach the following:
– Client SS
– Your Price match SS
– Hotel roles: for hotel bookings (Check in & out timings)
– XE SS – in case SS price is not in GBP
– Proof of payment / copy of credit sheet
- Update the Hotel Rules section with the updated Check-in & out timings.
- Add guests / passengers’ names and nationalities in the quotation file (Under Guests’ list).
- Ensure distributing names according to the rooms order in case of booking multiple rooms.
- Press next to save the file and send it to the “To be booked” folder in the GTO system.
- The quotation file then will disappear from the quotations page, and you need to contact the reservation’s team in the “Reservations Enquiry Group” to approve the quotation:
Reservations Enquiry Group: Reservations Enquiry Group | Group Chat | Microsoft Teams
- Once the reservations team confirms the quotation, it will appear again from your side, and the status will be updated to “Confirmed”.
- Reservation team will click on “Show confirmation” button, once the reservation is made, you can then Download confirmation.
Following the above-mentioned steps means the booking is now done and confirmed, and you have downloaded the confirmation file.
