The CENTER – Central Bookings (E-marketing and E-Commerce)

The Central Booking has it’s first objective the marketing and promotion of the brands – os Solares de Portugal (www.solaresdeportugal.pt), Casas no Campo (www.casasnocampo.net) and Aldeias de Portugal (www.aldeiasdeportugal.pt).

The high technology is used for the administration of reservations with the CENTERnet system and the advertising both brands at www.center.pt.

This system was developed for the following reasons:

• It was more feasible for the houses to negotiate with tour operators, as the house members can offer a total of over 1500 beds, whereas a single house can offer 4/5 rooms; tour operators cannot risk dealing with so few bed spaces.
• The elected working committees have the necessary knowledge of the tourism industry, in order to carry out these negotiations successfully to the greatest advantage of the TURIHAB members.
• It is simply far more convenient for all concerned to have a central point of contact, for reservations and promotional objectives with an online system – Centernet.

Reservations are made directly to CENTER www.center.pt or by e-mail info@center.pt. CENTER will then do its utmost to confirm each reservation or to offer alternatives.
