The Availability Check Bar offered by Internet Results Ltd and enjoyed by users for 5 years has been re-branded THOR Availability and will become a stand-alone part of THOR Reservations.
THOR, acronym for Take Hotel Online Reservations, will be shortly launched as a system for integrating into accommodation-providers own websites and taking online reservations and payments without diversion to third party commission-taking websites.
THOR Availability is a check bar prominently displayed on your website linked to a database that holds your room availability information. Visitors landing on your website, on checking availability for the desired date(s) will see:
 |
Green tick - there is availability, or |
 |
Red cross - there is not availability, or |
 |
Blue question mark - phone for availability |
