Hotel search and transport platform

- Airport and city transfers
- B2B and B2C channels
- Automated vouchers
How it works
One operational layer from search to fulfilment
A Mark Travel style business sells stays and ground transport to the same traveller, often through retail and agent channels at once. PHPTRAVELS standardises search, pricing, checkout and fulfilment for both, so every hotel night and every pickup follows the same steps, the same rules and the same booking record.
- Connect hotel inventory through APIs, extranets or your own contracts
- Set transfer zones, routes, vehicle types and pickup rules
- Define markups, commissions and rates per channel and customer type
- Publish the storefront and agent portal with checkout and vouchers
- Add automation for confirmations, status updates and reports in phases
