1.Confirmation Letter
Room reservation can be made by individuals, travel agencies, business offices or others. The request of accommodation is confirmed if the room is available.
Business relation between the travel agency and the hotel is normally based upon a contract agreement. If the contract has been signed by both parties the hotel provides room allocation. A fixed number of rooms are put entirely at the disposal of the travel agency for a certain period or for the whole year. The rooms are assigned to clients sent by the agency either for individual travelers or for groups. Any reservations sent by the agency office should be confirmed. On the other hand, the allocated rooms are paid for even if unoccupied.
