Baku – The New Offer Tool Of Latinconnect

Latinconnect is launching the new offer tool "Baku" at ITB 2020. Daniel Kueng, CEO of Latinconnect, answers the most important questions about this innovation here:

What is Baku about?
Baku is a further development of our online platform www.latinconnect.com. Everybody who actively uses our product tool knows that there is an enormous amount of content available from the partner agencies of Latinconnect. Baku now enables us to use this content efficiently for attractive offers and to generate a tailor-made personal website for the customer’s trip.
In a second phase, Baku will also become an online travel companion. With Latinconnect, we want to cover all phases of the provision of tourism services with one system: content and product management, quotations, offers, reservations, travel preparation, travel arrangements and post-processing.

Who are you targeting with Baku?
With the new offer instrument, we of course targeting all of our tour operator customers. However, the specialists and smaller tour operators, who focus on the FIT segment and do not already operate their own offer systems, will particularly benefit.

What are the advantages for tour operators?
We expect that the tailor-made and appealing website will result in an increase in selling rate. Secondly, the partner agencies relieve the tour operator of their work by delivering the offer completely and ready. And third, the use is free of charge. The next advantage comes in a second phase when Baku becomes an online travel companion and upselling tool. 

How exactly does the offer process work?
From March 2020, every tour operator partners will find a new menu item "Baku list". All offers will be listed here with the corresponding link. The personal website for the customers includes images, travel itinerary, descriptions of hotels, excursions and transport, as well as maps with travel routes, but not the prices and conditions. The tour operator can upload these separately in Word or PDF format and assign them to the link.

Where can I get to know Baku?
At ITB 2020 we will be giving regular presentations at the Latinconnect booth. You will find out the dates shortly via our colleague Katrin Schmitz in Germany.

When will Baku be available?
The launch takes place at ITB 2020.
