酒店要建立良好的和諧合作關系，那要如何密切與旅行社的關系？
    酒店與旅行社之間要建立良好和諧的合作關系，做到精誠合作、利益共享、風險共擔，這需要付出很多努力來培育。作為酒店應從以下幾個方面著手：
    1.做好接待工作
    酒店提供優(yōu)質的產品服務是保證與旅行社關系的最實質性內容。如果沒有意識到這點，在具體工作中勢必是舍本逐末。
    2.加強溝通
    酒店應讓旅行社充分了解自己的產品與服務，可以通過組織旅行社人員參觀、使用，并提供足夠的宣傳資料，如小冊子、廣告招貼畫、促銷錄像帶、幻燈片等，還應經常通過函件、人員訪問等形式及時向旅行社通報酒店各新產品與服務、新項目、新計劃等的最新動態(tài)，以協(xié)助其銷售，并爭取在旅行社旅游路線促銷宣傳中取得理想位置。對于旅游批發(fā)商而言，一般是提前一年或更長時間印刷宣傳手冊和報價單，但酒店應提早與之協(xié)商房價。如因經營需要必須提價，應盡早通知旅行社，并取得諒解。否則由于兩者溝通不足，臨時提價（尤其是旺季）會使旅行社陷入尷尬，引發(fā)大批退房，雙方都會在經濟利益、公眾形象上受極大損失。
    3.積極激勵
    酒店可采用多種激勵措施提高行駛代理銷售的積極性。如：提高傭金比率，對淡季銷售發(fā)給獎勵傭金并及時支付；對通過旅行社預訂的公司和機構給予更大折扣，管理它們從旅行社出預訂；免費為旅行社人員提供膳宿服務；開展銷售競賽，對銷售業(yè)績好的旅行社給予獎勵。
    4.加強預訂受理工作
    上海酒店VI設計應根據(jù)旅行社訂房的特點，設計專門的預訂受理程序，方便旅行社訂房。酒店應主動提供房價、訂金政策以及其他服務項目（如行李托運費）的付費說明，并以書面形式，一般是客房銷售合同，想旅行社明確房價（是否含早餐）、訂金、預訂截止時間、付款方式等內容。同時，酒店還應積極采用先進的電子網絡系統(tǒng)以順應網絡預訂的新趨勢。
    5.加強售后工作
    旅行團離點并不等於銷售工作的結束，酒店應與旅行社保持密切聯(lián)系，征詢其建議與意見，以便改進提高。
    6.重視賬款清算
    只有收回賬款，酒店才能真正取得經濟效益。有的酒店只顧招徠顧客，怕影響與旅行社的關系，往往不能及時收回賬款，降低了酒店資金周轉率，優(yōu)勢還會影響酒店的長遠發(fā)展。
    三、客房預訂來源
    酒店客房的預訂主要有三個來源：
    ●公司或機構組織
    ●個人旅游者
    ●旅行社：屬于酒店與最終顧客之間的的中間環(huán)節(jié)，對于酒店來說自然是非常重要的顧客來源。
