HOTEL: Goof afternoon, Carlton Court Hotel. How can I help you?

GUEST: Good afternoon. I’m phoning to ask about the three suites you feature in your brochure – the Nelson, the Clive, and the Drake. I’m trying to decide which one would be... (suitable) for me. Are they all more or less the same?

HOTEL: No? They are all individually designed. I’ll start with the Nelson suite – it has a single bed, a sitting-room and an en-suite bathroom. It costs 65 ₤ per night, so it’s... (cheap) of the three suites, but of course it is also... (small) of the three because it’s for one person.

GUEST: How much... (big) are the other two?

HOTEL: About twice the size. The Clive is quite a lot... (spacious) than the Nelson, and has a double bed, en-suite bathroom, and small dining room. It’s a little … (expensive) and costs 85 ₤ per night per person, but that does include dinner for two. It’s the only suite on the top floor, so it has … (good) view of the city.

GUEST: And what is the Drake Suite like?

HOTEL: Well, it’s ₤105 per person per night including dinner, so it’s our … (expensive) suite, but it’s also our … (popular) one, and reservations need to be made well in advance. It is … (large) than either the Clive or the Nelson, and it’s … (quiet) than them because it’s at the back of the hotel.

GUEST: Thank you very much. I’ll be in touch again soon.

Booking procedure

Once the client has signed the booking form, you must collect the appropriate deposit payment. If the client pays in cash or by cheque, you should issue the receipt according to the office procedure and then forward this payment to the tour operator concerned. However, if the client pays with a credit card, you should make sure he or she has completed and signed the credit card section on the booking form. You may find also that from time to time the operator may want the client to sign the Standard Sales Voucher instead.

Of course, it’s important for the client to take out insurance. If the tour operator’s insurance is chosen, make sure the booking form is correctly completed and then add the premium to the deposit.

Should the client decide on the alternative insurance policy or perhaps no insurance at all (not to be advised), make sure this is properly noted on the booking form. Remember that if you sell our own group’s travel insurance, you can earn up to 45% commission.

Once the booking form has been signed, it should be sent to the tour operator immediately. If the option expiry date is coming up soon, it is best to telephone and make arrangements to extend the option so as to avoid any risk of the booking arriving too late. When the tour operator receives the booking form, all the details such as flight reservations or hotel rooms will be confirmed.

It is a good idea to note the date by which you should get the confirmation or the invoice back – usually two or three weeks after the booking. It is also a good idea to make a note of the date by which the client must make full payment (usually about six to ten days before departure). When confirmation is received you should check the details to make sure they are same as those in your file and on the photocopy of the booking form. Finally, the confirmation should be sent to your client, highlighting the latest date for payment.
