ABSTRACT:
A hotel reservation system receives hotel reservations from a travel agent or other authorized user and enters information relating to the traveler and the reservation into a hotel reservation terminal. The reservation information is transferred to transaction processor via a communications link, where the processor automatically generates transaction documents related to the traveler, the travel agent and the hotel accommodations. These transaction documents are then sequentially transmitted by the processor using a facsimile to various parties having an interest in the reservation transaction. A confirmation document is sent to the hotel for which the accommodations have been reserved. The banking institution through which the transaction has been financed is notified to pay the hotel and others, and the travel agent is also sent a confirming transaction document.
