What is the Smart Trip Tool and why would Kidzania integrate it into its site?
We believe that the moment when someone decides to attend an event is the optimal time for them to plan how they will get there.
Integration into an event ticketing system captures the highest possible intent for travel.
By integrating into the venue page for your various locations, prior to committing to buy the ticket the individual can search in a separate window to see if rooms are available. Or if they are local and don’t need a room, they can simply use the map and driving directions.
Marketing messages used in email or social media campaigns for an event, such as Make it a Weekend or Let’s All Getaway, can increase the likelihood of a hotel stay.

To add Smart Trip Planning to your location Landing Pages
NEXT BEST: If you place the tool below the fold and use the map view, based on our experience to date with event sites, you can expect approximately 2.6% conversion.
We recommend adding a variable header, such as Make it a Weekend (if the event is on Thurs, Fri or Sat) or “Make it a Getaway” or simply “Do you need or want a hotel room?”
The instructions for installing this tool can be found in the Event Widget section.
To plan travel to any event venue

If its a good idea, why wouldn't we do it ourselves
Standard travel booking systems are not engineered to automatically find hotels nearby venues and events. They operate on a city center and airport centric back end.
TripProximity was engineered around events and venues and was built to be dynamically integrated in the same day as the decision is made. We provide not only technology, but we provide ongoing marketing support from your Account Director and we do a minimum of three major product releases a year, with weekly sprints to add incremental capabilities.
The online systems’ affiliate networks are the red-headed stepchildren of the parent companies and their tech resources are about the same as what is available with Solutionz Innovations. They also do not have the resources necessary to act as your proactive marketing partner. Their systems require programming to their API and integration can take weeks and even months to go live. Even minor changes to images and logos or navigation on the booking system requires a programming sprint which is generally a 3 week cycle. They do not have self-service portals that allow you to fully maintain your own environments.
We are always seeking to make travel to a place or an event smarter and easier. That is our commitment to you.
The Smart Trip Tool Components
I'm Staying
Hotel Booking Nearby the Venue or Event
This element of the Smart Trip tool gives the event attendee the ability to book a hotel in a single click, since the widget is pre-populated with the event venue info and the event date. Hotel bookings are guaranteed to be the lowest published rate online. Solutionz provides a 110% best rate promise and will refund 110% of the difference for someone who finds a hotel room available cheaper on another site.
Address lookup

Driving Directions and Optional Car Rental
In the US, 89% of all travel is by car. Driving directions are useful to all event attendees that are not personally familiar with the event venue. This tab also provides smart car rental.
Smarter Driving Directions
Smarter Car Rental
You can add an additional revenue stream by asking for a car rental company to sponsor this capability. We can default to that car rental company. The user may override the default at transaction time and see all car rentals, or we could link directly to the car company’s system.
I'm Flying
Optionally offer Air Tickets
TripProximity provides the ability to buy airline tickets worldwide.
Social Sharing
This feature can be disabled.
Royalty and Giving
Royalties
We earn revenues from travel bookings made on our client systems. The highest revenues come from hotels, then car rental. Air tickets produce a nominal fee. We are paid post-checkout, generally within 30 days for completed bookings.
In 4Q18 we are adding another booking source to augment our longstanding relationship with Priceline Partner Network and Booking.com. That will add not only 200 new inventory sources for lodging (including non-standard apartments, home rentals), cruise and attractions, but also the ability to serve very deeply discounted products to closed user groups behind a login (e.g. your eCLUB subscribers).
Solutionz will share 10% of our revenues with the John Gore Organization for any activities on any of your online brands and even through rooms booked when someone calls your ticketing call center. Should the monthly bookings exceed 250, we will move you to our highest earning threshold of 20%.
Giving Back
We will donate a minimum of 10% of our revenues to your charity of choice annually, giving the funds in your name.
If you want to operate the smart trip planning program out of your Foundation as TravelingToGive, we will donate 25% to your Foundation.
Terms
We believe that we need to earn your business every day and we are committed to your satisfaction.
You will have an Account Director that will navigate our organization to respond promptly to any issues or concerns.
Solutionz does not require a long term contractual commitment. We do ask our enterprise clients for one year, with mutual agreement on renewal.
Traveler Support
We provide 24/7/365 support in 40+ languages for the customer and an Account Director will be assigned to you for escalation of any issues with the smart trip tool or any of your campaigns.
Referrals
We have a formal referral program and the underlying technology to track referrals from the John Gore Organization. If you make referrals to Solutionz, we want to thank you in a material way.
We have started you at Level 2, which immediately allows you to earn royalties and donations. Any referrals that you make while you are at Level 2 will be counted toward reaching Level 3.
Once you achieve Level 3 with us (250 booking threshhold), any referrals that you have done will accrue to your account and we will pay you as a channel partner on those deals at a fixed 10% of their first year’s revenues.
