MANSLEY Travel Apartments has launched an online booking system, specifically for the travel trade.

The business-to-business facility can be accessed via the Mansley Travel Apartment’s website, www.mansleyapartments.com, by signing up for the Mansley Travel Apartments Membership Programme.

“There is a definite trend to interest in serviced apartments among the travel trade,” says owner of Mansley Travel Apartments (International), Sir Richard Rowley. “This online booking system provides a platform for travel agents and tour operators to learn about different accommodation options and get more involved.”

The new facility features numerous online booking benefits, such as 24-hour reservation confirmation (automatic confirmation is also provided on various apartments); detailed descriptions of properties; sorting by price, property name, and ratings; rates and availability information, including gross rates and reduced rates for members of the travel trade; and a summary of previous bookings made by the member.

Mansley Travel Apartments has properties in Europe, Asia, and Australia as well as in South Africa, with two properties in Cape Town. The group plans to expand operations in South Africa by adding new properties to its portfolio in Johannesburg in the near future.

Mansley Travel Apartments is represented in South Africa by Independent Travel Solutions.
