With its own sonnenklar.TV travel agency skill for the Amazon Alexa voice system, the latest travel tips and offers are now available free to your living room.
Munich/Weinheim, 13 February 2019 +++ Are you ready for a holiday? Then simply ask your Alexa for a holiday destination - by the sea or in the mountains - depending on what you're in the mood for. Travel enthusiasts can now discuss ideas for their next holiday with Alexa. If you start the "Travel agency" skill on Alexa, you will receive the current offers of the week directly from the sonnenklar.TV travel agency, among other things. You can ask for the nearest travel agency and receive information on the address and opening hours of the most easily accessible sonnenklar.TV travel agency in your area. You also receive a corresponding "info card" on your Alexa app on your smartphone with the information read out and pictures of the holiday destination.
The skill is from Online Software AG. The standard software platform PRESTIGEenterprise now makes it very easy and automated to plan existing information (offers with text and images), even in the long term, and to make changes at short notice.
"With our modern and service-orientated store concept consisting of digital elements and various communication channels, we paved the way into the future for sonnenklar.TV travel agencies years ago. The travel shopping channel no longer 'only' takes place on TV or in the sonneklar.TV travel agency around the corner - our offices have long been online and offer inspiration and advice via their websites, on social media platforms and via many other contact points," explains Birgit Aust, Managing Director of TVG and the sonnenklar.TV Reisebüro franchise. "With Alexa, we have now opened up another modern way into our customers' living rooms and would like to expand this further." In future, Alexa will precisely verify holiday destinations in dialogue, offer individual offers and also book them on request. Aust comments: "This is how I envisage a smart future for booking holidays and we will continue on this path together with our partner Online Software AG."
