Agoura Hills, CA -- CCRA International announced this month the third release of its agent-only hotel booking portal, CCRAtravel.com. The Portal 3.0 release delivers new features and interface enhancements to help travel agents efficiently book the best hotel rates available from a worldwide inventory.

CCRA International has contracted with hotels since 1993 to provide preferred rates for travel agents. Over the past year CCRA has met with many travel agents at various functions and worked with them on a daily basis as well. CCRA has succeeded in making the upgrades travel agents have asked for, making CCRAtravel.com an even better resource than ever, and once again proving that CCRA is truly committed to agents’ success.

“With this new 3.0 version, CCRAtravel.com will be able to provide travel agents the powerful tools they need to provide superior service for their clients and remain competitive with consumer-facing websites,” said Dic Marxen, CCRA president and CEO. “We remain committed to investing in technological developments to increase portal functionality.”

Portal 3.0’s enhanced features include:

• Increased hotel search speed with more complete search results
• Ability to book up to 8 rooms at once
• Promotional and CCRA hotel rates that include enhanced descriptions when available
