This is my first time building a traveling website. For two weeks I was stuck-up on how to address the connection flow between the server and the client. I will like to learn deep on how I will implement the booking engine to work with the site. Thanks to you and your team.
For sure you have been a software engineer at Amadeus. I can see it in your eyes…Great video by the way.
Andrey, i have lots of questions. How can i get in contact with you. Cheers
What a great video. Thank you, Andrey!
Does it work for tour booking ?
At first I said I was an offline travel agent. I used to sell B2B tickets for online travel agencies. Now I want to do my own online travel agency where I want to sell hotel bookings and flight tickets through my own website. Consumers will be able to book services through local and international currencies. Now my question is if consumers book flights through local currencies. That money will be credited to my merchant bank account. How do I rent an airline or booking company? I would like to know about booking fare automation.
how to transfer money from me to company?
