BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS: Digital Rez is excited to announce they have included an

integrated Ai engine into their flagship reservation software, RezExpert. This will enable

RezExpert users to generate marketing content in seconds to use immediately to send

marketing emails to their clients within RezExpert.

While the email module has long been a feature of RezExpert’s reservation software, it has

been underutilized by many tourism operators. Digital Rez Managing Director Kevin Hall hopes

that introducing the integrated Ai module will significantly increase clients marketing abilities.

“Most of our clients want to send marketing emails to their customers and utilize everything that

RezExpert offers, but simply don’t have the time to write marketing content or the budget to hire

a third party marketing professional. RezExpert’s integrated Ai module is a tool that will

generate professional content that can be used for marketing emails in seconds”.

RezExpert users will also have access to a suite of training materials to assist them in getting

the most out of the Ai module. Digital Rez staff will be contacting RezExpert clients directly to

provide them with these resources.

DigitalRez States That The February Editions Of Campfire Travel Magazine are Now Available for Online Viewing

Tue, 03 Mar 2020 14:36:45 GMT

DigitalRez has just announced that its February 2020 editions of its popular online camping eMags are now available for online viewing. This includes both the February edition of Campfire Travel and their quarterly eMag for Dog owners that take their pets camping. Each magazine edition is loaded with good information that is not found in any other type of camping magazines.

Company spokesperson, Kevin Hall, says this about these two new February eMag editions, “As we do every month in our unique Campfire Travel magazines, we have looked far and wide to find interesting and useful camping material to write on. We have our regular State Focus section that looks for detailed camping information on several specific states and as usual some interesting tidbits of information for dog owners that camp with their canines in our other quarterly eMagazine. The response to both of these online publications has been overwhelmingly positive and we will continue striving to keep churning out useful information each month for our fans that can’t get enough good information to enhance their camping and RV lifestyles.”

Hall says that that the February 2020 edition of their Campfire Travel Magazine that’s now posted on their website focuses on camping in the states of New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, and Mississippi. Those who have never camped in New Mexico will enjoy the good information on that state's most popular tourist attractions such as the White Sands National Monument and the Bandelier National Monument. There is also detailed information on the interesting sights to see near the state’s historic city of Santé Fe. There are 6 attractions altogether in New Mexico that this latest edition of Campfire travel features. The spokesperson says that the Nevada section, of course, would not be complete without some information on how to best visit Hoover Dam. There is also information on the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and the exciting cities of Reno and Las Vegas. Arizona, which has long been a popular destination for campers and RV enthusiasts because of its natural scenery and year-round good weather, includes information on such attractions as Cathedral Rock, Havasu Falls, and Monument Valley. Hall says no camping trip to Arizona would ever be complete without visiting the Grand Canyon which they have covered in detail. The Mississippi section covers many historic areas of the state and has some good information on the majestic city of Tupelo and the Grenada Lake area.

Hall also said that he thinks most readers will enjoy and be pleasantly surprised by the feature section the ‘Seven Fundamental Differences in Tents’. He says it contains tent information that even the most avid campers do not realize. There is interesting information on the different wall styles in tents and even some unusual tidbits relating to tent sleeves and clips.

According to Hall, Campfire Travel continues to include some items in their February eMag that will help pass the time for families when traveling to their camping destinations traveling. This includes some funny and entertaining videos that other avid camping fans and readers have shared with them. There is also the challenging trivia section and several games that will entertain both adults and children. Hall also wanted to remind those that read the magazine not to forget to enter the monthly competitions that are detailed inside this edition. The spokesperson says it has several new recipes for easy road trip style snacks too.

The spokesperson says that their eMagazine for Dogs continues to rise in popularity every 4 months and he thinks their exciting features in the February 2020 edition of the magazine will only add to that. Like its sister eMagazine Campfire Travel, it too features a section on tents but these are special tents made just for dogs. Hall says there are also the usual sections that focus on the ‘rules for camping with dogs’ and ‘the best types of behavior in dogs that go camping with their owners’.

DigitalRez Releases Rez Expert January 2020 Update

Wed, 22 Jan 2020 18:45:14 GMT

Canada based DigitalRez is pleased to announce that the January 2020 update for their popular RezExpert software system is now live. RezExpert is a software platform that serves as a reservation management system. It has a fully featured reservation and property management system that is suitable for a wide range of business needs. More details can be found at the following link: RezExpert Update .

Kevin Hall, a representative for DigitalRez, says, “We have built an intuitive and innovative system that boasts rich, dynamic setup interfaces that can satisfy the needs of complex businesses, such as managed communities, resort networks and owner revenue sharing properties. With every update, we bring in new features that make our software more powerful, flexible and able to take care of more complex requirements. The January update fixes a number of issues that have caused inconveniences, and it also introduces new features that will make life easier for RezExpert users.”

As part of the update, RezExpert will now allow payment before check-in for corporate bookings and no longer restrict payments, as previous versions of the software did. In addition, the ability to set where charges are placed by default for reservations is now available in the Business Setup panel. This flag allows a user to determine if the charges will, by default, be placed on either the reservation level or the Wholesaler/GDS level of the reservation. However, users will still be able to transfer specific invoices from one level to the next. On the backend, DigitalRez has also applied several software patches that add to RezExpert’s security measures.

The update also brings with it a series of bug fixes, including a fix for the export count issue, improvements to the responsiveness of the guest list, a leap year fix, additional verification checks to the Payment Express, a fix to an issue where documents uploaded to individual Unit Types would not display on Online Confirmation, a Print Selector display issue fix for long term reservations and a number of miscellaneous bug fixes.

Hall says, “We are very proud of RezExpert. The software can accommodate length and width sensitive units, multiple vehicle types, yield management, channel connections, unique lodge and experience packaging ideal for tours, rentals, golf tee times and a wide range of other verticals without any issues at all. With every update, you will find that RezExpert only gets better. If you have more than one business that needs reservation or property management services, our software is the right answer for you. With RezExpert, you can make sensible low cost, low risk buying decisions with no long term contracts and free demonstrations.”

DigitalRez supports further customization of RezExpert and has released a number of different modules, addressing maintenance, ticketing, promo codes, reputation management, dynamic rates, credit card processing, timeshare management, automated emails and more. The company has also released a Mobile App, the RezExpert eGuestConnect App, through which users have access to a fully branded app for their businesses at a fraction of the cost that an app of this nature would usually merit. Hall says, “RezExpert supports near-endless customization to suit your business’ specific needs. All you have to do is pick the right modules for your needs and easily create a custom version of RezExpert that provides you with the solutions your business requires.”

The in-depth customizability and the flexibility afforded by the RezExpert software has earned DigitalRez a lot of praise from satisfied clients. Seawind RV Resort says in their 5-Star review on Google, “Awesome Tech Support! When asked by other companies to change my reservation system, I emphatically answer no. I enjoy using this program for my campground needs. The others seem to want to charge more for a program that has too many features that I don't need. Y'all call at least once a month to see if we are having any issues with our program. That is wonderful and I hope you keep it up. Most of our issues have been resolved and for any that haven't, I know there is someone working on it. Outstanding Tech Support!”

Those who want to learn more about DigitalRez or the variety of products and services the company provides, including RezExpert, the new update or any one of the modules available, can find more information on their website. Additionally, they encourage interested parties to get in touch with Kevin Hall directly via email or phone. DigitalRez also maintains a presence on Facebook where they post updates and communicate with their clients.

DigitalRez Announces the 11th Edition of Their Campfire Travel E-Magazine is Now Available Online

Thu, 05 Dec 2019 20:47:44 GMT

DigitalRez is pleased to announce that the latest edition of their Campfire Travel e-Magazine is now available online. This November 2019 eMag release is the 11th edition of this popular online travel magazine. The company’s online magazines cater to those who enjoy camping and RVing.

Company spokesperson, Kevin Hall, had this to say on the November 2019 Campfire Travel e-Magazine release, “Our company’s motto is ‘We bring fun, entertainment and news to RV and Camping enthusiasts everywhere’. That is the focus of every Campfire Travel e-Magazine that we post online. The November 2019 edition is no different. It covers everything from exciting camping and RV destinations to fun activities that a family can do as they travel to their destination.”

Hall said that each edition of the Campfire Travel e-Magazine is designed to focus around camping in just a few specific states. The November 2019 edition has camping and RVing articles that center on Kansas, Tennessee, Missouri, and Utah. It features articles on the most famous attractions in all these states. Some of the more generic camping articles that are covered in this edition include ‘Must have camping gear’ and ‘Snacking on the go’. Their November e-Magazine also has sections with easy point and click access to online games and some informational and funny videos. The 11th edition of the online magazine includes some 54 pages in all. These pages are full of useful camping information and ways for people to entertain themselves while on the road.

All the e-Magazines that the company has distributed so far can be quickly accessed from their website . A user just has to follow the menu items across the top of the page until they get to one that says ‘e-Magazines’. Once a person gets to that, they simply click on it and then all the magazine editions that the company has distributed online will appear on the linked page.

Hall also went on to describe what Campfire Travel is all about. He says the purpose of their e-Magazines are to both help entertain and inform those who like to go camping across Canada and the USA. The company makes available a new Campfire Travel e-Magazine edition on the 16th of every month. Campfire Travel’s activities are also complemented by their Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts and they have a convenient phone app too. Each edition of their e-magazines also includes some beautiful hi-resolution photos and they are fully downloadable.

He mentioned that the company’s website is full of useful camping and travel information too. The point and click dropdown menu will help users access such topics as camping activities, camping trip suggestions, camping recipes, and the latest camping equipment. There is also an ‘RSS’ section that features blogs on many informational camping topics. The homepage even includes a handy campground and RV resort search feature.

Among the most popular activities that the company does is their monthly online contests. These include the opportunity to win thousands of dollars in prizes each month. The prizes include such things as vacation stays, electronics, and gift vouchers. Campfire Travel’s contests can be accessed from the website or from links in their e-Magazines.

The company is also very unique in other ways with respect to the camping information that they generate. An example of that is some of the Campfire Travel emags they produce are created for those that like to take their dogs with them when camping. They realize that camping is often a family affair and many times dogs are included in that circle. These editions do such things as list pet-friendly camping areas and give out pointers on how to prepare for a camping trip that includes a dog. There are even tips in these additions on activities to do with a dog when camping so they do not sit idle too often. So far, three editions of the online magazine that focus on taking a dog camping have been distributed online.

Campfire Travel Announces Wine Ridge Competition For November

Wed, 13 Nov 2019 20:32:55 GMT

Campfire Travel , a website dedicated to camping and RV enthusiasts, is pleased to share more details regarding their competition for November. Campfire Travel describes itself as an international team that seeks to reignite the public’s passion for camping and outdoor experiences.

Kevin Hall, a representative for the company, says, “November’s competition is not one you want to miss. We’ve had some fantastic rewards before, but this time our competition’s winners will be treated to something absolutely fantastic: a two-day stay at one of the country’s best resorts, the Wine Ridge RV Resort & Cottages.”

Campfire Travel describes the Wine Ridge RV Resort reward as so “Quiet and serene, nestled in Nevada’s premier vineyards and winery, we offer full amenities and the most magnificent desert and mountain vistas you can imagine. If you have a quad, Razor or rugged 4WD, you can join us for a tag-along off-road tour of the gorgeous Spring Mountains. Work out with our state of the art fitness equipment in our brand new fitness center. Enjoy the on-site wine tasting room at the award-winning on-site Pahrump Valley Winery.”

The company’s descriptions provide an accurate picture, as reviews for the Wine Ridge RV Resort & Cottages all describe similar experiences. The resort has a 4.5-star rating on Google, aggregated over more than 130 reviews. In her review, Susan Casey-Leininger says, “We stayed in one of the cottages and loved it. It was impeccably clean and so comfortable. There were also tons of room—we only had two people but it easily could have slept four. Every person we encountered was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend staying there.”

In addition to the two day stay at the resort, winners of the competition will also receive a number of other prizes. These prizes include a custom-made personalized shirt (male or female), a sturdy travel mug, a standard mug along with a fire pit. Campfire Travel holds these competitions on a monthly basis, and previous contest winners include Cassandra Darensbourg and Jenny Laundrie in May, Brian Castello and Gina El-Reedy (who won a stay at Triple C's Campground & RV Park in June) and Julia M. Schoennagel, Ryan Heron, and Kristyn O'Gorman (who won a stay at Camperland RV Resort & Cabins in August). Last month’s competition gave everyone a chance to win a two-day stay at Sunshine Valley, a beautiful site surrounded by the snow-capped Cascade Mountains only fifteen minutes past Hope, British Columbia.

In addition to holding monthly competitions, Campfire Travel’s main focus is to bring fun, entertainment, and news to RV and Camping enthusiasts everywhere. Each month, the company focuses on four or five states across North America. The magazine also features campgrounds and RV resorts to give them more exposure. Every edition of the Campfire Travel eMagazine also includes about $1,000 worth of vacations and prizes to win via competitions.

Kevin Hall says, “At Campfire Travel, we try to provide camping related fun and entertainment for the whole family. As such, our magazine takes your whole family into account, including your kids. If you read our magazine, you’ll find that they have embedded games for children and adults so that you won’t get bored during long drives when you go camping. They also have more practical features, such as the advanced Campground and RV Resort finder and directory, which allows you to find that extra special place to camp.”

Interested parties are also encouraged to get in touch with Kevin Hall directly for further details.

DigitalRez Announces Launch Of The New Community Based Tourism Tech Website

Tue, 24 Sep 2019 14:57:14 GMT

DigitalRez, a reservation and property management software company with offices in Barbados, Australia, and Canada, has announced that they have finished development on their new Community Based Tourism Tech website . The company had been working on this project for several months, and are now excited to share the results of their work with the public. The new platform promises to be a unique space where tourism professionals can gather and share their excitement for community-based tourism, advising and guiding each other on their activities and what affordable technologies are available to get their projects off the ground.

Kevin Hall, a spokesperson of DigitalRez, states, "We are very excited to make this platform available to tourism boards, associations, and professionals around the world. Our expectation for this space is that it will be a valuable resource for all community-based tourism professionals. We will regularly be adding new information concerning community-based tourism, which is a promising area of the field that remains rather unexplored. We look forward to reading what the community has to say about this website and listen to their feedback. Ultimately, this platform is for their use, so we will be regularly updating it according to their experience on the site."

The new Community Based Tourism Tech website is dedicated to sharing useful resources on community-based tourism. As the name suggests, it represents a branch of tourism that is owned and managed by communities whose intent is to deliver a broader benefit to the area's residents. Through this initiative, DigitalRez seeks to support a form of sustainable tourism that allows visitors to connect personally with the communities they visit. They provide valuable opportunities for visitors and locals alike, as the benefits of the initiative are gained mutually, and provide an experience that would not otherwise be possible.

The company says, "The website offers the tourist a deeper experiential, participatory, cross-culturally interactive insight into local people, unique culture, traditions, music, environment, art, and craft than they would otherwise get and the community as key stakeholders can exercise greater control and accrue more benefits than they would otherwise receive. This form of tourism gives tourists authentic experiences while allowing revenue generated to remain in the community. There are no downsides to this, as these are job and revenue opportunities that would not otherwise be possible, which will, in turn, improve the experience of future visitors and community-based businesses."

However, while it may seem like every step of this community-based tourism will be handled by locals, the company notes that they expect to complement this service with technology. The Community Tourism Tech initiative intends to demonstrate how the implementation of a technological ecosystem can help ensure the success of a community-based tourism pilot project. The benefits that this implementation will provide to the community include easing their transition into the digital economy, which will help the community access extra revenue for small and medium-sized, community-based businesses.

This technology also promises to help the community thrive. An example of this is the inclusion of technologies that require little physical infrastructure, and even less maintenance, such as WiFi. This promises to help developing countries gain pace on adopting new technologies and provide them with opportunities to improve, in a significantly shorter period of time.

The ultimate goal of promoting Community Based Tourism is to preserve the culture of local areas by encouraging residents to embrace visitors and share their lifestyle with them, rather than changing to fit the requirements of the tourism industry. The technology involved is merely a means of easing this process. DigitalRez is currently evaluating the cost of this system when applied at scale, as it is important to ensure that it is viable into the future.

The new Community Tourism Tech website includes all information relevant to this new initiative, including case studies and the various challenges that the company is currently dealing with. Those who wish to learn more about this topic may reach out to Kevin Hall of DigitalRez to follow up on any inquiries.

Fri, 20 Sep 2019 20:17:23 GMT

Campfire Travel is pleased to inform their avid readers and the wider community of camping enthusiasts that the latest edition of their eMags is now available. Those who keep up with each new release will know that the company publishes their informative and entertaining eMagazines each month and, as before, the September release brings a bevy of camping tips and stories from around the community. Furthermore, both longtime fans and newcomers are encouraged to check out the latest Campfire Travel Competition in order to submit their own entries and stand a chance to win unique rewards.

In Edition 9, the magazine touches on subjects that include more specialized camping mattresses (a discussion on alternatives to the air mattress, long considered a staple of the hobby for many explorers), a selection of breakfast, dinner, and snack recipes for travelers, a breakdown of the camping possibilities in states like Maryland and Wisconsin, and so on. New visitors to the website will be pleased to learn that, crucially, this eMag is always free, and easily accessible from the Campfire Travel website.

In addition to this, both the eMagazine and the website itself are tailored to be compatible with any device. As the company states, “Whether you’re checking out our website on your computer at home while you plan your next hike or leisurely reading through our magazine on your smartphone or tablet device in your tent, we have taken several measures to ensure our materials are always accessible, even on the go. This is because we knew our readers would want unfettered access to our resources at any point of their journey. Everything we have shared about camping is always at your fingertips.” Notably, readers may also check out each of the eMagazine’s past editions—including the special editions for dog owners, each of which explore the joys of camping outdoors with a furry companion.

Campfire Travel continues that this is also true of their competitions. “We host a new competition every month, so it’s crucial that we allow competitors to check the rules or make submissions whenever they are able to.” Similarly, competitors may want to look into this month’s Sunshine Valley Competition—the most significant prize for which is an amazing 2-day stay at the beautiful Sunshine Valley RV Resort.

The company elaborates, “Only 15 minutes past Hope BC, with 110 large 50-amp serviced sites, Sunshine Valley is a place for your family’s outdoor adventures! Surrounded by the snow-capped Cascade Mountains, it offers a wealth of recreational activities for all campers, including exceptional skiing and snowboarding at Manning Park in the winter months and miles of beautiful hiking trails in the summer.” Winners will also receive two personalized shirts (man and woman), two coffee mugs, two travel mugs, and a fire pit that they may utilize during their trip to the Sunshine Valley RV Resort as well as any other trips they may take in the future.

Run by camping experts and aficionados, Campfire Travel seeks to make themselves an online haven for wilderness explorers and other kindred spirits. Visitors to their website, for instance, will instantly be able to use the built-in map utility to look up or make reservations at campgrounds and RV resorts across the United States, Australia, and even New Zealand (eMagazine readers may check out this month’s focus on New Zealand’s camping opportunities as well). Their mission, they say, is always to, “bring fun, entertainment, and news to RV and Camping enthusiasts everywhere.”

“All of our Apps will have embedded games for children and adults to keep you entertained on your camping journey,” says Campfire Travel in a statement on their website. “We will also have our easy Campground and RV Resort finder and directory to help find that extra special place to camp. A new free members area has also been designed that will be a social media gathering integrated into your Facebook and Twitter accounts. Invite friends, comment, and interact with other campers.”

Those who wish to learn more or begin exploring Campfire Travel’s resources may visit their main website . More information can also be found on their social media pages, which enjoy extremely active followers and are regularly updated with news, competition results, and other relevant information for the eMagazine’s community of travelers.

Campfire Travel Launches Camperland Competition

Wed, 14 Aug 2019 21:00:29 GMT

A popular online magazine for camping enthusiasts has just announced their latest competition . The magazine states that they are running a contest and the winner will receive a two day stay at Camperland RV Resort and Cabins. Camperlands is a resort at the base of Mt. Cheam in British Columbia that features a number of amenities. The location is easily accessible from Vancouver, Hope and other cities in Canada.

Camperland is situated right beside the popular Bridal Falls Waterpark and is opened from the first of April through the end of October every year. The resort has more than 250 RV and camping sites and features a liquor store, a general store, a clubhouse, a recreation hall, various swimming pools and hot tubs, two playgrounds, video game rooms and a host of other activities and amenities.

Kevin Hall, a spokesperson for the online camping magazine says, “We felt that this was the perfect contest. What could possibly be better than giving someone who loves to camp two free nights at one of the premier camping resorts in British Columbia?”

Hall says that those who would like to enter competition can do so on the magazine’s official website. He adds that entering these contests is always easy and the magazine holds similar contests every month, giving away thousands of dollars in prizes with each one. Every contest is free for readers to enter and some of the past prizes have included similar getaways and vacation stays at popular RV parks or camping sites, as well as gift vouchers to Amazon, mobile phones and various camping equipment and supplies.

“We try to make these contests fun,” says Hall. “We also try to make them line up with our readers so we choose prizes that we believe our camping enthusiasts would love to win. Vacations, free stays at some of the premier camping sites in the region and other things are always on our list of prizes.”

Camperland is indeed one of the premier camping resorts in British Columbia. The RV and camping resort hosts thousands of visitors every year with many stating that their added amenities that make them family friendly, such as their swimming pools, multiple playgrounds and hot tubs, are what make them come back every year.

Hall says that they are always pleased at the magazine to see their readers win. He adds that the main reason for the beginning of the magazine was to encourage people to spend more time outdoors. Camping is a pastime that has dwindled in popularity over the years. Just a few decades ago, camping was a favorite family outing. Today however, Hall says that many families have never gone camping together and he adds that this is a sad fact of life.

“Families just do not know what they are missing if they are not camping together,” Hall says. “The idea behind Campfire Travel Magazine is to encourage families to spend more time together; to encourage people to spend more time in the beautiful outdoors.”

The magazine also recently launched a new publication, an online magazine for dog owners. Hall says that anyone who owns or wishes to own a dog will love some of the information and fun facts that they have included in their new online magazine.

Hall states that he hopes that anyone who loves to camp will give their magazine a look and he urges those who visit the online magazine to sign up for their monthly contests. They offer a number of contests with many different prizes to be won. The magazine also has social media pages with Facebook and Twitter where they share more information about their latest contests and what readers need to do to enter and to win. Those who are interested in this latest contest can visit the online magazine today to read through the official rules and regulations and learn more about entering and their chances of winning.

The 7th edition of the Campfire travel E-Magazine was published July 1st. It features a selection of camping and fishing tips for those living in, or visiting, five US states. The magazine’s highlights include coverage of several local attractions in the state of Connecticut, including natural attractions that camping enthusiasts are sure to find alluring. The other states covered include New Jersey, North Dakota, and Washington DC.

The company made an effort to include different locations that appeal to individuals with a variety of interests, covering hiking, exploring, and biking, along with recommendations and guidelines for readers to follow so that that may ensure their own safety during their travels. Kevin Hall, a spokesperson for the company, states, “While there are many places we can feature in each edition of our magazine, we always try to keep it varied. Our goal is to encourage the community to explore their own beautiful state, which has a lot to offer in terms of memorable views and locations where they can spend a couple of days away from society."

Another topic of interest for camping enthusiasts, or for those hoping to adopt the hobby of exploring the wilderness, is Campfire Travel's top tips to help campers avoid a bear attack. Campfire Travel enumerates certain preparations that explorers can take before and during their camping trips to keep wild animals at bay—and they even go over what should be done in the unfortunate event of a real bear attack. The magazine says, "While unlikely, bear attacks are an aspect that campers should be on the lookout for. There are certain measures to take which ensure the safety of campers but, of course, the best way to avoid them altogether is to stay away from zones that bears inhabit at certain times of the year."

The new edition of Campfire Travel’s E-Magazine also comes packed with various contests in which readers can win exciting prizes, a staple feature of each monthly release. The prize pool includes $1,000 worth of vacations and prizes, effectively funding a lucky family's exciting excursion into the outdoors.

The winning pictures are showcased on Campfire Travel's website, in addition to their monthly magazine. Campfire Travel affirms that the copyright for each photo always remains with the original photographer, and entries will not be monetized in anyway.

For enthusiasts who may not be able to travel due to unforeseen circumstances, Campfire Travel also rewards knowledge through their trivia and SMS competitions. They say, "We understand not everyone will be able to make these trips every month. Therefore, we have developed other competitions they can participate in and still compete for prizes. We have designed each of our competitions so that every participant has an equal chance to win."

Camping lovers from all across the US are welcome to participate in these competitions, and joining is an easy endeavor for everyone. The prizes include free vacation getaways, stays at renowned RV resorts and campgrounds, Amazon gift vouchers, cameras, mobile phones, and other items that can complement an outdoor experience.

All competitions are free to enter, and there are four photo and trivia competitions to keep them feeling fresh and exciting each month.

The company states that the purpose of their competitions is to bring attention to the outdoor activities that have seen a decrease in popularity among hobbyists during the past few years. Some of the top prizes that Campfire Travel offers include free vacation getaways at amazing campgrounds and RV resorts, Amazon gift vouchers, cameras, mobile phones, and other items that can complement the joys of the outdoor experience.

Hall clarified, "A participant may enter our photo competition from any part of the world, as long as the law allows it." He adds, "While we will showcase the winning photographs on our website, as well as in our monthly magazine, the original photographer will retain the copyright to their submission. We guarantee that sponsors will not sell a photo entry for a fee, although winning entries may be used in connection with the contest, and promotion of the contest or the Campfire Travel brand."

Campfire Travel also hosts a Trivia Competition, in which participants may win prizes that are also offered in their photo competition, such as a 3-night camping stay free of accommodation charges.

Time To Research And Reserve: April Edition Of Campfire Travel Has Been Launched

Fri, 26 Jul 2019 13:44:31 GMT

Campfire Travel, headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, recently published their April edition of Campfire Travel. Featuring four popular states where many readers like to explore the great outdoors, including Colorado, Alabama, Kentucky, and Virginia, the eMagazine is very popular with those who love to camp as well as those who like to explore options before braving the great outdoors. “Now is the perfect time to research and reserve popular campgrounds and RV resorts, and check out the latest gear. We are delighted to provide a full service for all camping enthusiasts through Campfire Travel to share their experiences,” said David Hall of Chedall LLC.

This month, a feature on Tasmania helps anyone thinking of exploring farther afield to learn more about the Tasmanian Devil, complete with a video and where to go to see this rare, endangered species.

Those who have not gone camping for a while, or have never gone camping, will be very interested in a feature highlighting “Six Great Reasons to Make Your Next Vacation a Camping Trip”. Food lovers will love the April edition as it features some scrumptious recipes to enjoy real, healthy food while camping. There’s no need to rely on freeze-dried packs or tinned food to get through the days, they only have to pick up the ingredients, and a few treats, to make lasting memories.

The Campfire Travel magazine is designed to be read on any device, with links to games and videos to make the most of travel time. Readers may also enter competitions to share their experiences with the world—they are easy to enter and give readers the opportunity to win a free 2-day vacation stay.

“Camping has always been popular, and we want to make it easy for everyone looking to explore the great outdoors to get real information easily, wherever they are, whenever they have time,” said Hall. Even children often go away to summer camp as their first ‘away from family’ experience, which often helps build self-confidence in a safe environment.

There are many health benefits to camping, in addition to its ability to create bonds through working together, planning, preparation and learning new practical skills. Many find that camping provides the best recreation oriented activities for a much-needed break from work, study, and other responsibilities.

Campfire Travel has a special edition for dog owners who want to bring their pets along to enjoy the great outdoors. Although taking pets on a camping vacation requires more preparation, there is no doubt that the memories made will last a lifetime. The eMagazine page provides access to both current and back issues for both titles, making it easy to bookmark it for further exploration.

For travelers of all kinds, now is the best time to reserve spots for summer camping trips, and Campfire Travel’s main website provides an extensive search facility to specify a camper’s precise needs to find and receive a quote for their desired location. The range of available criteria run the gamut through tiny houses, cabins, full hookups, pull throughs and many more based on location.

New RezExpert Software Update Brings Added Features To The System

Thu, 25 Jul 2019 20:08:03 GMT

DigitalRez, a software and services company working in the hospitality management industry, has announced a new update to their flagship software product RezExpert. The software is marketed as a complete reservation and property management system for hotels, caravan parks, marinas and multi-resorts. This new update to RezExpert brings more features and includes fixes based on client's feedback, making the software even more robust.

DigitalRez has been working in the industry for over 23 years. They started off providing a streamline desktop-based reservation system for mainly campgrounds. The company has since upgraded to a robust, web-based system that’s accessible anywhere with internet access, along with a mobile app to make bookings easy for their clients’ customers. Clients get real-time updates on reservations and track business progress through detailed reports. They integrate to point-of-sale (POS) interfaces, which can work with their existing software.

RezExpert is the popular and robust software by DigitalRez that makes it all happen. It is essentially a reservation management system which helps automate the reservation/booking process for clients such as hotels, recreational parks, resorts and so on. One of the reasons RezExpert is preferred over other solutions is its ability for easy customization. This makes it easy for Managers to optimize the usage of their resources.

The booking system can be altered through customized policies, which the clients can set up themselves according to their needs. These can include minimum or maximum limit of days a customer can stay, setting up special offers for priority customers, up-selling services to higher paying customers and so on. The system also features credit card processing and meter billing, a convenient feature for clients as well as their customers.

“We are a business-to-business company that focuses on creating a seamless experience between our clients and their customers,” says Kevin Hall, Managing Director of DigitalRez. “It can be frustrating for both parties when a reservation was booked on their website but didn’t come through the system in time or at all. We just want to make sure that our clients are able to provide a great experience that results in repeat business for them.”

DigitalRez provides training and extensive support for RezExpert to their clients, which is one of the reasons clients trust the company. “When asked by other companies to change my reservation system, I emphatically answer no,” says Tamela Guyette, a DigitalRez client. “I enjoy using this program for my campground needs. The others seem to want to charge more for a program that has too many features that I don’t need. Y’all call at least once a month to see if we are having any issues with our program. That is wonderful, and I hope you keep it up. Most of our issues have been resolved and any that haven't, I know there is someone working on it. Outstanding Tech Support!”

The new update aims to bring more functionality and usability to the system. It provides a mechanism to identify and resolve unresolved payment gateway transactions, such as in the case of network failure or credit card decline. New policies have been added to the system, and users now have much more control over their map configuration. Furthermore, there are a host of other design-related user-interface changes that contribute towards an overall improvement in the system’s performance and usability. The system is always being upgraded to enhance stability.

Being a business-to-business company, DigitalRez provides special, detailed data reports to clients that allow them to optimize and create more value for their business. Clients can track their financials through reservations, track their marketing and advertising efforts and identify business aspects that are profitable, or creating expenses.

DigitalRez has offices in Barbados (DigitalRez International), Canada (DigitalRez Software) and Australia (DigitalRez Australia). The company has a huge client base across North America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Business owners interested in learning more can visit the main RezExpert website .

DigitalRez Announces That RezExpert Has Been Updated

Thu, 25 Jul 2019 20:04:56 GMT

Kevin Hall, Managing Director of DigitalRez which is a reservation management software company, announces that their primary reservation software has undergone a major update. Their primary software, RezExpert, is marketed as the complete reservation management system. It now offers features such as booking access restriction, analytics, and a client search dialog.

DigitalRez has been operating for 23 years, starting with desktop-based reservations and has upgraded to browser-based. In the last 10 years, they have added an app that makes booking reservations even easier for their clients’ customers. Their clients get up-to-the-minute updates on their reservations, dynamic reporting, dynamic pricing, and an integrated point of sale system that works with their existing software.

When approached about this announcement, Kevin Hall had this comment to share, “We are a business-to-business company that focuses on creating a seamless experience between our clients and their customers. It can be frustrating for both parties when a reservation was booked on their website but didn’t come through the system in time or at all. We just want to make sure that our clients are able to provide a great experience that results in repeat business for them.”

Research shows that many consumers who have bad experiences would leave bad reviews and never give that company their business again. The software assists their clients to help manage this situation to turn a negative experience into something positive through the Customer Review portal which allows the customer to leave reviews internally and thus can be dealt with before it becomes an overall bad experience.

Tamela Guyette, a DigitalRez and RezExpert client, had this to say about her experience with the company, “When asked by other companies to change my reservation system, I emphatically answer no. I enjoy using this program for my campground needs. The others seem to want to charge more for a program that has too many features that I don't need. Yall call at least once a month to see if we are having any issues with our program. That is wonderful, and I hope you keep it up. Most of our issues have been resolved and any that haven't, I know there is someone working on it. Outstanding Tech Support!”

RezExpert is a reservation management system that automates the reservation and booking system for clients. It offers reservation recalculation automatically when a reservation is changed - while some systems require a manual adjustment for changes. It also facilitates credit card processing and meter billing, a convenient feature for both the client and their customers. Additionally, customized policies can be integrated with the booking system, rather than relying on general algorithms. The client can set the minimum and maximum for stays - such as for hotels, or the minimum days in advance that a reservation must be made - such as for restaurants. Business owners interested in learning more can visit the main website.

Katrina Green utilized the update in beta before it was launched and shared her transition in this review, “We were very apprehensive about upgrading from old ROS to the new RezExpert, but the whole process went very smoothly. The ongoing support and training that we receive is greatly appreciated. It is hard to believe that we took so long to make the decision to change - RezExpert is so much faster and efficient.”

The new RezExpert update offers many new features for the benefit of their clients and their customers alike. In addition to the booking access restriction, clients can also set up an event that only permits specified members to book or make a reservation for specific dates and times. This is accompanied by the addition of a membership log that tracks reservations that were created for a specific customer.

Amy Smith was hesitant to switch to an online reservation system but was guided by a friendly team member at DigitalRez. This was the experience she was glad to share, “Blaine is so helpful. After 3 years we decided to move to the online system. Blaine took his time and made sure that every question I had was answered. He was so kind calm and helpful as I stumbled my way through the process. Highly recommend DigitalRez and the fantastic customer service.”

DigitalRez and RezExpert also offers detailed data reports that allow the business to create financial records based on the reservation data. With the analytics feature in the new update, businesses can sort their data in a variety of ways, including rate group, source, location, promo code, and even marketing type. This allows businesses to track their marketing and advertising in order to determine which sources are the most effective.

New RezExpert Kennels & Catteries Site Launched

Thu, 25 Jul 2019 20:01:27 GMT

DigitalRez, a provider of software for property management, has announced the launch of the Kennels and Catteries website. This site features the RezExpert software, which was developed by Digital Rez and considered to be the most advanced Java based property management system in the world. Here in this new site, it is shown how RezExpert can be used for managing kennels and catteries. The new website can be accessed at https://kennels.rezexpert.com/ .

Kevin Hall, who speaks for DigitalRez, says, "Replicating the familiar booking chart and calendar grid, RezExpert allows you to view your bookings by pet or owner name, payment statuses and available kennels/rooms all at a glance. Quickly access all reservations with just one click."

The RezExpert kennel and cattery management system is provided with an easy to use grid interface that looks just like the familiar calendar. With this grid, the user can switch between the different pets and owners. It is also easy to switch to a view for a particular pet or owner and see the details for that owner or pet.

The RezExpert kennel and cattery management system is equipped with different kinds of modules for managing the diffrent aspects of the kennel or cattery business. These include automated emails, credit card vault, dynamic rates, a branded app, online bookings, batch printing, pet management, credit card processing, and reputation management.

The automated emails module can be used to minimize the time required for emailing owners about the pets' board bookings. This is done by sending out before & after stay email messages. For instance, before stay emails may contain information such as vaccination checklists or other required information before the pets' board. After stay emails may contain Thank Yous, promotional deals and survey links designed to enhance customer loyalty, feedback, and communication.

With the Credit Card Vault of the RezExpert kennel and cattery management system, the user can enter credit card details and these are safely kept in the Credit Card Vault. No payment is taken during the creation of the entry and the information stored will be used for future processing through a local EFTPOS terminal. The RezExpert kennel and cattery management system also has a fully branded mobile app, which is called eGuestConnect. This is a mobile app that can be used by pet owners looking for a place for their pets to stay. This app can contain various information about the kennel or cattery and users can be provided with the latest news and different offers in real-time. It can also be used to provide incentives to loyal customers.

Also included in the RezExpert kennel and cattery management system is the online booking module. This is vital because it has been observed that more than 60 percent of all bookings were done online in 2017 and more than 40 percent of bookings are made on mobile devices. With this, pet owners would be able to book their pets' accommodation through a Book Now button on the website. This will bring the customer to the RezExpert Online Booking page to process the booking and this will then be automatically shown on the Availability Grid.

An important module is the pet management module, which allows the uploading and display of pet images and PDF documents containing information like vaccination history and breed certificates. All of these can be added to the pet/owners master record. Users may also create a custom field for recording vital information. The data can be used for creating and printing custom pet cards for every booking.

A vital module in the RezExpert kennel and cattery management system is the one for managing the reputation of the business. By using this module, it is easy to obtain and maintain a Five Star reputation while disseminating to potential clients the great reviews being received by the kennel or cattery. This module allows customers to leave a review and the software monitors such reviews in real-time. All historical information regarding customers' comments and reviews can then be used to come up with reports and decisions can be made on how to enhance the business.

Aside from the previously mentioned modules, the RezExpert kennel and cattery management system has many other modules to make managing the business easy. These include the down to the minute module, maintenance module, added extras module, dynamic pace reporting module, auto optimization module, IP security module, multiple kennels-one database module, and the pet tasks/notes module.

Responsive Website Templates From DigitalRez Now Available For Hospitality Industry

Thu, 25 Jul 2019 19:35:20 GMT

DigitalRez, a company with offices worldwide that delivers digital reservation systems to various markets, is proud to announce that they now offer a responsive website service for the hospitality industry, such as hotels and resorts. The templates available for these responsive websites include campground, hotel, RV parks, and marinas. Details are available at http://sitemobi.net/ .

Kevin Hall from DigitalRez says: "We provide a way to easily make a responsive website for the hospitality and accommodation industry with no need to code. The SiteMobi system automatically imports all of the content from an old website into an attractive website template that can be customized by device. It is also possible to create websites from scratch using one of our templates. All of our responsive websites not only look great but follow Google's SEO best practices and come with various client getting features."

Clients will have to choose first which type of website they require, whether it is for hotel, campground, RV, or marina. These four categories cover a large part of the hospitality industry but if a business feels none of those categories represent them, they are encouraged to contact DigitalRez for further information.

After they have chosen their category, clients have to indicate whether they wish to convert their existing website into a SiteMobi site, which is mobile optimized. This is for those businesses who already have a functioning, good website but lack mobile optimization. Choosing this option ensures that customers are provided with a consistent brand experience.

Kevin Hall explains: "The vast majority of people now access the internet through their mobile devices. This is particularly true for those who wish to make reservations with or find out more about a certain hospitality business. It is essential, therefore, that these types of businesses have a website that follows best SEO practices so that they can be found, and also that they are mobile optimized so that they can be found on the go. Their mobile website must also be fully functional, so that visitors can access all the different features, such as a picture gallery, reservation system, and customer reviews. That is what we can do with an existing website."

The second option is for those who wish to create a brand-new website that is fully responsive as well as mobile optimized. The SiteMobi websites are designed to work on mobiles, tablets, and desktops. This creates brand consistency across all types of platforms, offering a professional look.

Once customers have chosen the type of website they want to have created, they can choose from any of the many templates that are available. As shown at http://sitemobi.net/hotel-templates/ , there are many to choose from. Kevin Hall continues: "For the hotel industry, we have Blue Fish, Broadway, Cafe, Intro Landing, Liquorice, Mona, Popsicle, Sepia, and Yellow Brick. We may also add more templates at a later stage. Each comes with a consistent design, font, typeset, color, and more, creating a uniform look for your business."

Once clients have chosen the type of website they want to have created and the template of their choosing, they simply have to enter their contact details and DigitalRez will provide them with a custom quote that will show price and completion time. Kevin Hall explains: "Once you accept our quote, we will get to work on creating your website immediately so that it can become live before you know it. Don't forget that you can also incorporate the DigitalRez reservation system in your new website, which will give it even greater functionality. Do speak to us about this if you want to know more."

DigitalRez opened its doors in 1993 and from the start, they have focused on offering high quality and functional real time reservation systems. They have strived to make these affordable without compromising on quality or support. Over 4,000 operations across the world now use the company's RezExpert system. This system comes with 30 day rolling contracts, so people can opt in and out as they see fit. Their contracts include maintenance and software support, and additional modules can be added as and when required.

Those who have used the services of the company in the past have been very pleased with their results, not just in relation to the reservation system, but also in relation to the technical support they have received. DigitalRez, meanwhile, is committed to always improving the functionality and integration of the system, which is what has culminated into the new SiteMobi options. Those interested are encouraged to contact DigitalRez for more information.

Marina Reservation Website Launched By DigitalRez

DigitalRez is a digital reservations system provider with offices across the world. They opened their doors in 1993 and have since provided over 4,000 clients with reservation systems for the hospitality industry.

Learn more about our software through our new website or contact us to request a demo."

DigitalRez offers the RezExpert system to allow hospitality businesses to manage reservations. This is a Java based property management system with the most advanced features available to date. It includes a grid interface that is incredibly easy to use and yet very powerful and can completely eliminate the need for the old fashioned use of the calendar. The system makes it possible to switch between different properties, showcasing the entire inventory in each cell. Kevin Hall explains: "Simply switch to the individual unit view for a specific listing so you can see each unit in the property. Managing reservations couldn't be easier."

The new marina reservation system features a number of important modules. These include automated emails and point of sale (POS), as well as meters. It also comes with a branded app, which is one of the features that so many DigitalRez clients have come to love. Kevin Hall says: "Mobile apps are a must for every modern business. Vying for much sought after real-estate on a guest's phone cannot be underestimated. If you can incentivize a traveler enough to download your resort app then you have an uninterrupted marketing channel to that guest. Travelers are entrusting you to provide them with pertinent information and value, confirming that your business is an important app on their phone."

The mobile app, which is called eGuestConnect, is a branded app that each DigitalRez client will have access to. According to DigitalRez, it is a far more affordable solution than having a custom app designed. It includes advanced features, such as resort specific information, special coupons, geotargeting, and more. It is perfect for all types of guests, new and returning, and it enables the marina to stay in touch with guests all throughout. They can even offer competitions, deals, and other incentives.

Other modules included in the marina management system includes mapping, batch printing, document management, and credit card processing. Furthermore, it offers analytics, GL mapping, events, and data mining. "We have a powerful financial/analytics module," continues Kevin Hall. "Compare year on year, monthly or any desired date range. Know if your business is growing or shrinking based on past and present performance. View any delinquent accounts instantly, drill down into historical information and cross reference with any notes or tasks detailed in the CRM module. The unique RezExpert dynamic reporting panels allow managers to drill down and export data to csv, for easy manipulation in other products."

Other included features are auto optimization, membership management, a maintenance module, dynamic pace reporting, automated billing, employee end of shift, and inventory management. The CRM features are also highly advanced, and so with the night audit and security setup. Kevin Hall says: "Please visit our website to take a look at all the modules and features that are included with the marina reservation system. We have an easy to use Contact Us feature on the website as well, through which you can request for a demo."

One of the things that sets DigitalRez apart is that they offer rolling monthly contracts, which makes them more accessible to businesses of all sizes. They have committed themselves to being affordable yet technologically advanced, something that their customers have appreciated for over 20 years. Kevin Hall says: "The simple monthly fee also includes software support and maintenance. Additional modules are also available for the more complex businesses that need more features."

DigitalRez is always looking for ways to further improve the work that they do and the services that they provide their clients. Hence, they have recently added a feature that focuses particularly on mobile optimization. This ensures that clients' websites can be accessed by customers on the go as well. Additionally, DigitalRez is considering adding further websites for specific verticals within the hospitality industry.

I enjoy using this program for my campground needs. The others seem to want to charge more for a program that has too many features that I don't need. Y'all call at least once a month to see if we are having any issues with our program. That is wonderful and I hope you keep it up. Most of our issues have been resolved and any that haven't, I know there is someone working on it. Outstanding Tech Support!"

DigitalRez Announces New Updates And Fixes To RezExpert

Thu, 25 Jul 2019 15:43:09 GMT

DigitalRez, the company that produced RezExpert, a fully featured reservation and property management system, has announced that they have recently released updates and fixes to their system. The company states that recent updates will make the system much more functional and convenient for users.

"We've added a lot of feature updates," says Kevin Hall with DigitalRez. "We wanted to make it easier for users, and we feel that's just what we've done."

Hall states that several updates have been completed, including updates to the vehicle detail handling section of the program. The process of saving vehicle information was adjusted, allowing the information to be saved to reservations only and then applied to Rez for reservation. He says that all updates done to date have been designed to ensure a more satisfactory user experience overall.

Hall says that a new section (Strata/Property Management) has also been added to the DigitalRez website to provide even more information for users. "Other updates include a new email confirmation breakout," says Hall. "The email template for online and console reservations is now broken out, allowing you to individually configure what your customers see when they receive an email."

Other updates include arrival time updates, which provide an update to the exact time that clients are checked in. The revenue and occupancy panel has also been updated, changing the date range restriction from 93 to 366 days.

Hall says that separate auto charge invoices for cash businesses are also now available. When auto products are applied to reservations, those charges are now placed into a separate invoice, making it easier for users to reverse specific charges as needed.

The news and updates website gives users detailed information about upcoming updates or recent updates to the system, enabling them to fully utilize all features of the program as they are updated.

Thu, 25 Jul 2019 15:23:41 GMT

DigitalRez, a business with offices in Barbados, Canada and Australia, is proud to announce that their RezExpert software and website have been updated. The website now features a streamlined and clean design, which makes it easier for clients and potential clients alike to find what they are looking for. The new website can be accessed through https://rezexpert.com/ .

Kevin Hall from DigitalRez says: "We are committed to offering our clients the best possible product. Offering reservation software for a wealth of different industries and updating it regularly, we felt that the website was becoming slightly cluttered with all the information that was available. Hence, we have been working hard over the past few months to clean everything up, and we're loving the new results. Do let us know how you feel about it."

Besides the website updates, RezExpert Software has also been updated. It now includes a number of new features. These RezExpert updates include the fact that the type revenue and occupancy range has been extended to one year. This means that, with the software, clients are now able to take reservations up to one year in advance.

Questions and problems are addressed in a timely manner. I am getting more comfortable with the new program and appreciate how my concerns have been addressed."

DigitalRez Announces Update to RezExpert 9 Reservation System

Thu, 25 Jul 2019 15:20:45 GMT

DigitalRez has announced an update to the RezExpert 9 reservation system. The company recently released the update, which includes bug fixes and a number of new features to the already updated system.

Kevin Hall with DigitalRez says, "We're happy to announce that the new updates are now in effect. Not only does this clear up a few bugs in the system, but the new interface makes it so much easier and more efficient for users."

Hall states that among the updates is a grid layout change. He says that the grid button has been removed and is now located within each panel of the system. A new dashboard button redirects users to their dashboard page for an overview that includes charts and updated statistics. Panel buttons have also been updated.

"The new navigation menu is going to provide much easier and faster access for all reservation system areas," Hall adds. He says that users will be provided with a list of links that are available to them within the system so that they can quickly access them as needed.

The menu options displayed will depend on each employee's security role and individual level. Front desk operators for example will not be able to access setup, so that tab will not be displayed for that particular employee. Hall says that this helps to streamline management of the system overall, and provides much more efficient operation from individual employees.

Other changes to the system include date range additions for billing policy products and a new ability to set billing cycle start dates. Users can set specific dates for cycle limits to begin, and the specific cycle limit on each account will indicate how many times the policy can be run before it stops billing. Hall says that everything that has been changed and updated is all to help the system run more smoothly and to help users work more efficiently.

RezExpert is a reservation and property management system that is used by a number of businesses including campgrounds, marinas, and hotels, among others. More about the system as well as information on additional new updates to the system, can be seen on the company's newsletter website at https://news.rezexpert.com/update-bulletin-15th-june-2016-rezexpert-9-0-is-here .

Thu, 25 Jul 2019 14:49:09 GMT

DigitalRez, a company that specializes in reservation management systems, has recently announced that their new cloud based central reservation system, RezExpert, can reduce IT hardware and networking costs. The company added that all a client would need is a regular computer and a decent internet connection and everything else will be managed through the correct security logins that the client configures through their personal browser.

DigitalRez stated that cloud based central reservation systems provided their clients with more flexibility to manage their businesses, as it allowed them to access these systems from anywhere in the world. RezExpert, their centralized reservation & property management system is also mobile friendly and there are no long-term contracts to tie the client down. There is a low monthly fee, however the company feels this is a far more affordable option than traditional methods since a client doesn't have to worry about anything else except running their business. All of the maintenance that is needed to keep the RezExpert reservation system running optimally is handled by DigitalRez. Mark Payne, CEO DigitalRez Australia, made the following statement,

"Based on a philosophy of providing low cost, real-time systems underpinned by high quality support, the company has thrived and sold to more than 4,000 operations with our previous windows-based software, worldwide in that time. With the introduction of RezExpert we have restructured how we do business."

The company's cloud reservation system is also out of scope for PCI compliance. This is a plus for many businesses, because the cost of maintaining a PCI compliant central system can spiral very quickly. The reason why DigitalRez is able to keep costs low is because there are no servers to buy, nor is there any software that needs to be installed. In addition, clients don't have to worry about expensive networks. The company also made the following statement: "The RezExpert System runs on an Oracle database and hosted in the Amazon Cloud environment utilizing the latest Java technology. Oracle and the Amazon Cloud enable RezExpert to scale appropriately when demand is high. This is critical for any Software as a Service provider."

The cloud based central reservation system also comes with a call center interface which streamlines call center operators processes and gives them the ability to book across all businesses within the system.

Kevin Hall, who is the Managing Director of DigitalRez Group of Companies, encourages all interested parties to go to the company's website in order to get more information on their RezExpert cloud-based reservation system. Here, clients will also be able to view a full list of features on the reservation system, as well as have the opportunity to contact the company directly by mail or telephone if they have any further questions. The company's website also comes with a dedicated support page that provides a FAQ and knowledge base section. They stated that their goal was not only to create the best reservation system in the industry, but that they are also focused on doing everything in their power to keep their customers happy.

Thu, 25 Jul 2019 14:28:32 GMT

Kevin Hall said that RezExpert, their hotel reservation & property management system, is hosted in a cloud. He added that this system provides an extremely advanced grid-based property management interface that can help clients manage and streamline all of their property and reservation management tasks. When the company designed the grid, they said that it was their goal to make it powerful enough so that a client could have the ability to view their entire operation's activity. Kevin Hall also made the following statement, "Whether you operate a small hotel, large resort, small inn or unique lodge facility, RezExpert is the answer to your property management and reservation needs.

DigitalRez stated that their RezExpert system is fully compatible and feature-rich. They added that clients will also be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to learn the cloud-based system and will appreciate its ability to maintain their entire business in a simple color coded grid interface.

It also prevents a double posting from email requests. The company also made the following statement on their website, "Credit Card Processing - RezExpert integrates with a number of processors and gateways to facilitate secure PCI compliant transactions minimizing your cost and risk for PCI Compliance."

RezExpert also provides a series of additional modules to help clients enhance their Hotel property management system. They stated that the reason for these modules was to help every business have their own unique needs met. For more details on the types of modules clients have access to, they are encouraged to visit the company's website. Examples of some of the modules that can be found online are the following: metered billing, central management, automated billing, inventory management, membership management, online reservations bookings, map reservations, and many more.

Resorts utilizing RezExpert can look forward to many more updates,” he stated.

The conversations continued on the first evening at the lavish Plantation Roots and Rhythms Music and Dance extravaganza. The entertainment was spectacular while the buffet dinner was pure island fare. Everyone commented on the exotic flavors and fine cuisine.

Day two's excellent speaking and forum sessions were followed by a sunset cruise on one of Tiami Tours' big, beautiful 80-person catamarans which provided everyone the opportunity to sail up the gentle western coast of Barbados, stop and swim with the sea-turtles in Payne's Bay and enjoy another lavish dinner with lots of lubrication in the form of local rum punch and other refreshments.

Day Three wound up just after lunch with everyone commenting on the tremendous amount of quality information shared, the openness of the attendees to the concepts provided and everyone looking forward to next year's get-together.

Later that evening, the gala dinner wind-up was attended by everyone and we had a chance to hear some great entertainment in addition to the excellent formal fare provided by the Hilton's culinary staff.

Launch of ROS2006

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 21:00:19 GMT

(Barbados, West Indies) - May 15, 2006 - Today, DigitalRez announced the official release of ROS2006, the replacement for its mainstream ROS2000 product which now serves over 3000 operations worldwide.

(Barbados, West Indies) - May 15, 2006

Today, DigitalRez announced the official release of ROS2006, the replacement for its mainstream ROS2000 product which now serves over 3000 operations worldwide. The upgrade provides enhanced credit card collection services and the much-awaited enhancements to RezRobot 2.0 technology which enables resorts to better manage their own website's online reservations.

Resorts are given full control over their inventory; they decide how much inventory to make available and set their own online rates. Operators can also make changes in their inventory 24/7. DigitalRez' registered, support paying clients will receive the ROS2006 upgrade free of charge.

"DigitalRez will not be increasing licensing or support fees for ROS2006 because this year, we feel the industry needs a break from the onslaught of higher gasoline and wage prices during the 2006 peak tourism season" stated Ken Lahoda, founding CEO of the company.

ROS2006 has also been enhanced with new security deposit management capabilities, providing operators the ability to track multiple articles such as keys, towels, room safes or whatever other items a resort may wish to hold a refundable deposit on. If the security deposit is withheld, the system automatically converts it from a tally on the liability side of the customer's bill, into an assigned revenue product or service charge.

In addition to all of these great new features, ROS2006 is DigitalRez' first step in providing camping resorts the opportunity to not only manage bookings from their own websites, but eventually allocate inventory to RVTripsetter ( www.rvtripsetter.com ), which will provide access to Trailer Life and Woodall's 600,000 directory subscribers for additional bookings. "Once the RVTripsetter system has been fully tested and prepared for rollout this summer, we'll be encouraging all of our campground resorts to sign up and join the world's largest central booking system for camping. The service currently provides free registration and a low 7% booking fee with rapid remuneration to the resort", stated Kevin Hall, General Manager of DigitalRez' Barbados head office.

ROS2006 has also been enhanced with a new context sensitive help system which, when the "F1" key is pressed, intuitively delivers the user to help documentation pertinent to the function being performed within the application.

Campground Online Reservation System Open for Business

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 20:34:09 GMT

Austin, Texas - Nov 30, 2005 - Campgrounds Will Have Access To A New Way To Fill Unreserved Campsites. A new online revenue source for campground owners is making its debut at the 2005 InSites Convention and Expo in Austin, Texas. Rvtripsetter.com, an online campground reservation system, is launching.

AUSTIN, TX) - Nov 30, 2005

Campgrounds Will Have Access To A New Way To Fill Unreserved Campsites

A new online revenue source for campground owners is making its debut at the 2005 InSites Convention and Expo in Austin, Texas. Rvtripsetter.com, an online campground reservation system, is launching its sign up program for campgrounds to assist them with filling unreserved campsites.

The 24/7 service will attract new customers and fill sites that might otherwise have gone vacant by allowing RVers to book reservations no matter what time of the day or night. The significance of this online campsite reservation service is heightened because most online transactions are made outside of business hours - more than 60 percent of these transactions are made from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Most of those customers, more than 70 percent, are new customers for that business.

Rvtripsetter.com will harness the power of RVing's two largest and most popular directory Web sites: trailerlifedirectory.com and woodalls.com. The two sites attract online traffic of more than five million user sessions annually. With more than 500,000 potential customers every year, the new reservation service will give campgrounds access to more users than all other RV Web sites combined.

"The purpose of our service is to increase business for the campgrounds," said Joe Daquino, Multimedia Division Vice President/Trailer Life Directory and Woodall's Publisher. "Rvtripsetter.com is designed to help RV campground owners find customers for empty campsites."

Campgrounds are given control over their inventory; they decide how much inventory to make available and set their own rates and customer payment methods. The campgrounds can also make changes in their inventory 24/7.

Rvtripsetter.com is exhibiting at booth number 704 at 2005 InSites Convention and Expo in Austin, Texas this week. For more information call (800) 452-8132.

Coast to Coast Shares Some Thoughts

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 20:11:27 GMT

Barbados, West Indies, October 15, 2004 - Coast to Coast shares some thoughts on the automation of the largest reciprocal camping network in the world.

Barbados, West Indies, October 15, 2004 - When Grant Miller took the helm as President of Coast to Coast Resorts in mid-2002, he knew full well the incredible opportunity he would have to positively impact the outdoor resorts industry. Having watched Coast to Coast evolve from a simple, though cutting-edge concept, into the premier reciprocal camping network, he was quick to realize the untapped potential. From an operational standpoint, the industry as a whole - and Coast to Coast as well - functioned in a cumbersome, labor-intensive, manual environment at a time when the internet was evolving at breakneck speed.

To illustrate how it was - way back in 2002 - the "system" at the time revolved around a process whose key components were literally thousands of Camping Cards (blue for one type of Camp Resort, red for another) that churned between Members, Camp Resorts and Coast to Coast. Members purchased cards from Coast to Coast, then turned them in when they visited Camp Resorts, who then bundled them for submission to Coast for reconciliation and payment on a routine basis. There were thousands and thousands of Camping Cards, from thousands of Members, scattered among hundreds of Camp Resorts... consider just the shipping costs, not to mention the audit challenges!

Enter automation, by way of a new relationship between Coast to Coast Resorts and DigitalRez International, forged at the onset of Grant's presidency at Coast. With an emphasis on energizing the network and "growing the industry pie, not just Coast to Coast's share of it," it was abundantly clear that an entirely new and automated method of handling the basic business functions of the outdoor hospitality industry was in order. Coast to Coast was ready for change, and DigitalRez was perfectly positioned to meet the specific challenges.

Over the course of the next several months, teams of DigitalRez professionals worked diligently with Coast to Coast management to create the framework of a new model which would address key business issues:

How can we make it easier for Members to make reservations and pay for their Camp Resort stays?
How can we help our Camp Resorts function more efficiently, effectively, and profitably?
How can we provide more value for everyone we touch in the course of doing business?
How do we integrate a new system into processes and functions already in use by AGI, the parent of Coast to Coast?

As you may imagine, these drivers were only the most apparent points to be addressed, with many other critical factors emerging throughout the entire definition-of-need process. It is one thing to build an infrastructure which satisfies the engineers who imagined it, and it is an entirely different mindset to create a totally new system which is - above all else - user friendly and abundantly simple. "One particularly positive aspect of working with DigitalRez is that they take the time to understand our unique business model, and stay focused on the overriding need for simplicity," asserts Grant. "The very nature of the Camp Resort industry is counter to high-tech, high-touch technology, and this in itself can present a challenge. At the end of the day, all parties involved in doing business through and with Coast to Coast Resorts had to feel they had been well-served, with definite and tangible benefits delivered through automation. DigitalRez delivered these benefits, without fail, and in a way that enhanced the value of Coast to Coast Resorts."

So how did this new, automated infrastructure look when it was introduced on January 1, 2004?

For starters, those colorful old Camping Cards were history, replaced by a new flexible electronic currency called Trip Points. Every Member began the year with a positive balance of Trip Points, converted from the Camping Card balances they held. Opportunities to "earn" Trip Points were introduced, with almost immediate positive Member acceptance.

Tripsetter, an online reservation platform designed to accommodate Trip Points and interface with the Camp Resorts' inventory allotments was created, with accompanying written Tripsetter Training Guide and tutorials to make the transition as seamless as possible.

"In retrospect," continues Grant, "the roll-out of this new business model went remarkably well. Not only did the Camp Resorts find the new system user-friendly, our valued Members didn't hesitate to let us know how they felt about it!"

From Coast to Coast Member Lon Van Ostran, "Just a note to let you know how happy we are with the new online reservation system. We belong to Coast to Coast Resorts, RPI and AOR. We have been seriously considering dropping either RPI or Coast because we have too many memberships. Before the change, Coast to Coast was in line for us to drop. Now, you are our favorite membership. Thanks for making Coast so much better than it was before."

Without doubt, the most apparent evidence of success is found in the statistics gleaned from Tripsetter's multiple reports. In the first five months after launch Members purchased more than a million Trip Points.

58% of reservations were made online - a huge success indicator
89,000 nights were "hosted" at Camp Resorts
Over $750,000 was paid to Camp Resorts

Statistics also reveal that Members are becoming increasingly comfortable online, performing other activities such as finding their perfect resort, getting quick answers to their questions, and learning how to use their membership benefits to their best advantage.

This trend of measurable success continues to be borne out in recent system reports, and sets the stage to move into Phase 2 and Phase 3 enhancements. In addition to a number of minor enhancements which will have collective positive impact, there are two initiatives which are noteworthy:

1) IVR capability is being introduced which will enable all Members and Camp Resorts to make reservations, cancel reservations, purchase Trip Points, check Trip Points balances and perform check-in/check-out functions all through their touch tone phones.

2) Camp Resorts will have the capability to control their own inventory allocations (for RV sites and rentals), as well as control their holiday and special event blocks of inventory --- all in-house through Tripsetter. Concurrently, employee security at the resorts is being enhanced to implement necessary internal controls.

In years to come, no doubt fully-wired RV'ers will look back and recall when the outdoor hospitality industry emerged from the dark ages of paper into the point and click world. You may be sure, Coast to Coast Resorts and DigitalRez have contributed their share in the successful evolution.

Coast To Coast RezExpert Release

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 20:02:11 GMT

Barbados, West Indies, January 1, 2004 - Coast To Coast Membership Resorts announces release of RezExpert Call Center and Online Booking Engine.

January 5, 2004

Tripsetter Centralizes Internet-Based Reservation System for RV Parks

DENVER, Colo . - On January 1, 2004, Coast to Coast Resorts, a network of private and public RV parks and campgrounds, converted to a new reservations system that is intended to revolutionize the outdoor hospitality industry and provide a new way to travel for its nearly 150,000 members. The new system is easy to use and enables Coast to Coast Resorts members to save money when they visit any of the over 300 top-rated private CampResorts in the United States, Canada and Mexico. This is in addition to the nearly 350 affiliated RV parks and campgrounds that are part of the Coast to Coast Good Neighbor Park network.

"With the implementation of the new methods and systems, Coast to Coast, to the best of my knowledge, will have the world's largest and most vibrant real-time online reservations system for the outdoor hospitality industry," says Grant Miller, Coast to Coast Resorts president. "Coast to Coast is re-inventing the industry by providing state-of-the-art systems, better access, greater convenience and higher value for its membership and network of resort affiliate partners."

Tripsetter, Coast to Coast's online reservation system, makes travel planning easier. Members can search online for participating affiliates or Good Neighbor Parks as well as confirm availability and book reservations online. It provides 24-hour access for the resorts and members to manage, reserve, modify and cancel reservations. Members will also have the option to call Coast to Coast Resorts toll free and have a Travel Counselor assist in making their reservations and travel plans.

The Internet-based reservation system allows affiliated resorts to manage every aspect when hosting a Coast to Coast member. CampResorts can use the real time system to check-in and edit arrivals, check-out and edit departures, and also accommodate members when they simply drive-up without a reservation. Tripsetter also gives resorts the capability of accessing and generating a number of valuable system reports to improve operational efficiency.

Replacing the 31-year old system of Camping Cards, Trip Points are a new paperless medium of exchange that makes the system easy to use. Trip Points enable members to pay for their vacation activities in place of Camping Cards. An electronic account of Trip Points will be maintained for each member and be accessible online.

Trip Points can be used for campsites and for rental accommodations like cabins, luxury park models, condominiums or even teepees at many of the locations in the network. "The program makes it easier than ever for members to reserve space at the resort of their choice," said Miller.

"More than the premier reciprocal-use camping system, Coast to Coast Resorts will become the foremost provider of seamless, integrated solutions for the outdoor hospitality industry," continued Miller. In an effort to lead industry growth, Coast to Coast Resorts will develop a network of strategic business partners and alliances that will create new travel and leisure-related products and services while enhancing existing offers to the membership and affiliate network.

Allocation Robot Success

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 19:59:19 GMT

Barbados, West Indies, August 1, 2003 - Digital Rez is proud to announce the implementation of it's revolutionary Rez Robot Allocation Servers have been met with praise.

DigitalRez International, Barbados (DRI) - August 1, 2003

DigitalRez is proud to announce the implementation of it's revolutionary Rez Robot Allocation Servers have been met with praise after more than a year in operation.

Clients' comments:

Tourism Victoria - (www.tourismvictoria.com) has been using the Rez Robot Allocation Server for one year. During this time, we have added over 130 accommodation and activity member businesses to the system and have experienced a significant rise in booking and ticketing activity for our organization. For example, we have sold over 40,000 admission tickets for a blockbuster museum exhibit in Victoria as well as a significant number of accommodation packages for this event.

The system enables Tourism Victoria to promote and sell member business products via our website and reservation call centre using a central, "real time" database. We also have the ability to print tickets at remote locations by tapping into the central database.

In addition, we have been able to create pre-bundled packages comprised of accommodation and non-accommodation products (e.g. activities and transportation) with a single price point. This feature has provided a welcomed service for visitors and has generated additional revenue for the destination.

Tourism Victoria continues to work closely with DigitalRez to enhance the system and enable us to add additional types of member business products. We recommend the Rez Robot Allocation Server and welcome any questions you may have.

One Million Real Time Reservations Worldwide

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 18:44:15 GMT

Barbados, West Indies, July 21, 2003 - (DRI) announced that their real time, online booking engine has recorded in excess of 1 million reservations.

DigitalRez International, Barbados (DRI) - July 21, 2003

DigitalRez International (DRI) announced that their real time, online booking engine has recorded in excess of 1 million reservations for their client resorts in the past thirteen months. With the launch of new implementations pending, this volume is projected to rise by a minimum 75% - 150% in the coming year.

The Rez Expert Central and Allocation Robot booking engines set a new standard for online reservation fulfillment in the industry. The systems facilitate online and call center processes for large central tourism based organizations all the way down to the smallest resort owner.

All activity can be tracked, including client history over years, accessible from the front desk, web interfaces and Call Centers. To accomplish this task, DRI overcame substantial technical obstacles in telecom and reporting by inventing groundbreaking technology that is revolutionizing reservation e-business.

After the company quickly realized the limitations of the most popular reporting engines on the market, DRI created their own reporting engine to dynamically generate reports via Windows interfaces and the Web (in Adobe's popular PDF format).

Most small businesses, especially remote tourist destinations, have poor or unreliable Internet connectivity. Small Packet Protocol (spp) was created, which could deliver secure (128 bit encrypted), dynamically generated database information across low bandwidth Internet connections up to 100 times faster than standard systems.

These two technological gems opened the way for Digital Rez to create real time, online, centralized reservation systems that tie thousands of properties together worldwide, from the smallest hostel or campsite to luxury hotels, tours, museum ticketing and events with superlative tracking and reporting.

All this has been developed hand in hand with one of the most advanced grid based, cost effective, property management systems in the world ROS2000.

The system supports both MS SQL Server and Oracle 9i database architectures.

Barbados, West Indies, June 1, 2003 - (DRI) announced they have completed 5 major implementations of its Rez Robot Allocated Inventory System

DigitalRez International, Barbados (DRI) - June 1, 2003

DigitalRez International (DRI) announced they have completed 5 major implementations of its Rez Robot Allocated Inventory System in the past fifteen months.

These systems benefit the smallest hostel to the largest luxury hotel chains. The system allows Internet surfers the ability to create their own vacation packages combining golf, museums, ticketing, tours and activities on one booking engine.

It also allows the participating tourism provider to receive allocated inventory, while allowing the provider to retain complete control from pricing to availability.

With enhancements to the current advanced grid-based property management system (ROS2000) slated for this fall, every DigitalRez client will be able to allocate and control inventory to multiple travel Web sites and manage it from their own front desks.

Ken Lahoda, founding CEO stated "ISP's, Tourism Bureaus, Travel Wholesalers and Internet Travel Portals can utilize these systems to enhance their real time service capabilities. It represents a significant step forward in benefiting Web-based systems and call centers that require real time fulfillment of reservations for wholesalers and tourism related sites."

"Tourism Victoria ( www.tourismvictoria.com ) has been using the Rez Robot Allocation Server for one year. During this time, we have added over 130 accommodation and activity member businesses to the system and have experienced a significant rise in booking and ticketing activity for our organization. For example, we have sold over 40,000 admission tickets for a blockbuster museum exhibit in Victoria as well as a significant number of accommodation packages for this event.

The system enables Tourism Victoria to promote and sell member businesses' products via our website and reservation call center using a central, real time database. We also have the ability to print tickets at remote, staffed kiosk locations by tapping into the central database.

Major Release Of Rez Robot Allocated Inventory System

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 18:15:11 GMT

Barbados, West Indies, April 15, 2002 - Completion of a major release of The Robot Allocated Inventory System Announced

Barbados, West Indies - April 15, 2002

DigitalRez International (DRI) announced the completion of a major release of its Rez Robot Allocated Inventory System to be used by ISP's, Tourism Bureaus, Travel Wholesalers and Internet Travel Portals.

"Rez Robot has received a whole new interface", stated Ken Lahoda, CEO of DigitalRez International. "This improvement represents a significant step forward in benefiting Web-based systems and call centers that require real time fulfilment of reservations for wholesalers and tourism related sites."

DRI launched the system on its Holiday Guide International portal to demonstrate how similar operations could benefit from implementing the system.

"In the 4th quarter of 2002, we will have an online, XML based reservation API for Rez Robot published and ready for rollout", Lahoda continued. "Once development of the API is completed, Web-based travel systems will be able to attach or create their own travel information interfaces to front-end our back office data structure, functionality and user base. This will put every DigitalRez client in the position to be able to allocate and control inventory to multiple travel Web sites and manage it from their own front desks."

DRI expects to have 5 operations using the new online system by May 2002 including VIP BackPackers, Tourism Victoria, Virtual Vernon, Sun Peaks and Holiday Guide International. The company reports high interest in the "out of the box" application package. Predictions are for more than 30 major systems to be sold before year's end.

DigitalRez & VIP Backpackers Project

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 16:58:36 GMT

Barbados, West Indies, Feb 1, 2002 - Digital Rez International and VIP Backpackers of Australia announce project completion

Barbados, West Indies - Feb 1, 2002

DigitalRez International (DRI) announced the completion of a joint project between DRI and VIP Backpackers International (VIP). The long-term relationship will allow both companies to expand their positions in their respective businesses onto the Internet.

DRI is adding the functionality to their ROS2000 reservation system coupled with Rez Robot Online systems that enable VIP to offer their exclusive membership the ability to book real-time to any of the 700 VIP Hostels around the world. DRI enhancements also include comprehensive on-line packaging that ties hostels, activity/tour and transportation vendors together.

The system provides VIP the ability to offer three fully automated channels through which their hostels and activity vendors can make a reservation:

A Real-Time process where ROS2000 is installed at the vendor's operation and communicates directly with VIP's online system.
An allocated inventory process where webinterfaces allow the vendor to allocate or remove inventory in real-time and remain in control at all times.
A request-based process where an e-mail or fax is sent from the Internet interface to the vendor for confirmation.

"The relationship and business plan with VIP will be a model for other companies and associations to act much like Central Reservation Systems or Global Distribution Systems", stated Ken Lahoda, CEO of DigitalRez International. "DRI and VIP will actively seek out similar entities to bring them into the stream now that development is complete."

Support For Oracle 8i

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 16:41:49 GMT

Barbados, West Indies, Jan 15, 2002 - DigitalRez International ports ROS2000 data structure to the Oracle 8i (Intel) database platform

Barbados, West Indies - Jan 15, 2002

DigitalRez International (DRI) announced the completion of an undertaking to port its ROS2000 data structure to the Oracle 8i (Intel) database platform.

"Our development and testing team reviewed and rewrote every aspect of ROS2000 to further standardize the underlying data structure in ten short weeks", stated Ken Lahoda, CEO of Digital Rez International. "While Microsoft's SQL Server 2000 system is very robust, true enterprise level scalabilty and stability requires that Digital Rez products run on Oracle's most recent platform releases."

DRI entered into the process in order to fulfill requirements placed upon the company on a major project yet to be announced. The project's roll-out date is expected to be in April 2002 with full implementation to follow in July.

"The improvements to the system put us right on track to be able to provide a very powerful interface and platform capable of handling thousands of processes a second and millions of reservation clients", Ken Lahoda continued.

Other major aspects of the project also required Digital Rez to tie into cutting edge Client Relationship Management (CRM) improvements being programmed into Oracle's latest Application Server version. Support for transfer into Oracle's newest accounting systems were also a requirement.

In addition, Rez Robot will provide support for Cisco System's new "Voice Over Internet protocol" (VOIP) call center hardware to allow more than 125,000 members to dial in and make reservations into the same central server system. The exchange methodology adopts XML protocols allowing for other IP enabled telephony systems to be added later.

These developments put Rez Robot on track to provide not only Internet-based but also operator and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) functionality to handle large numbers of clients regardless of their method of access to varied types of reservation inventory.
