Hotel booking process design & usability 
Travel UCD – February 2003 
• Independent business travellers (B2B bookers), who exhibit similar behaviour as leisure
bookers
Travel agency systems and business travel booking-engines (which require travel policy rules)
are excluded from this analysis. Factors relating to group reservations are also excluded.
This report does not address the behind-the-scenes technical aspects of hotel reservation systems.
That makes it an ideal introduction to hotel reservation websites – for marketing, web design and
hotel industry personnel who have no specific industry or online web design knowledge.
Definitions 
The following website definitions are used throughout this report:
Travel agency website: A website that offers more products than simple hotel booking
functionality (e.g. car hire, flights) – for example Travelocity.com, Expedia.co.uk, Orbitz.com.
Hotel booking agency website: A website that takes hotel bookings / reservations as its primary
business – for example Hotels.com, Placestostay.com, Lodging.com
Hotel chain website: A website specifically for a hotel chain – for example Hilton.com,
Marriott.com
