Excuse the cumbersome title.
I've recently become re-involved with our local tourism association and am on a sub group looking at the groups website and how we improve and take forward. As the likes of book ing do tcom get bigger and bigger it seems to me that one functionality that would be great to have on our website is the ability for guests to search by date for available rooms. This involves all (or as many as possible) businesses having their availability online and there are many that don't have this, and of those that do they all use different booking engines, so not easy to tie together into one function.
We could have just an availability calendar with a simple click on / click off for rooms and dates, and I would be happy to write this function myself, but then anyone who has a booking engine would have another calendar to keep up to date.
I would be grateful for your experiences in this area or any suggested solutions we could look at.
