Continuity: Operating since 1985, the name change in 1994 to TRAVALCO USA, Inc. (Travel Value Company) reflects the expanse of programs that the company has developed beyond the Florida market.

Hotels: Travalco features more than 2000 hotel properties which have been carefully selected to match the preferences of our clients. We do not participate in "universal agreements" with hotel chains that are of limited interest to our travelers. Instead, we develop exclusive arrangements with the most compelling and professional properties in each category. As a result of this selective distribution policy, we are able to offer exclusive access to preferred NET rates from exceptional hotel brands. Due to the highly desirable nature of these preferred NET rates, our clients contractually agree to dedicated distribution methods, particularly within internet and other electronic channels. To enhance the client experience, we also create and provide digital files offering detailed hotel information, maps and images. |

On-Line (Web) FlexTour® Reservation System: Travalco has developed a web based interface that enables your staff to benefit from the advantage of direct access to availability and instant confirmations of our hotel inventory. Aside from the established features such as search, book, add, delete and change, the system now includes an "Info Button " with detailed descriptions of each hotel property. This information can be e-mailed to yourself or to your clients. It is also now possible to print vouchers directly from the system. Maps and driving suggestions have been added to the vouchers for traveler convenience.
XML (Host 2 Host) Reservation system: The Travalco Host to Host interface is an ideal tool for those companies that have the desire to connect their booking engine seamlessly with the Travalco inventory. The complete booking process is handled through a secure XML interface offering 24/7 availability check of hotels and rates, bookings, requests for reservations and cancellations. The Host-to-Host link works in the background at the server level and allows the leveraging of existing booking systems and web sites.
