e-Reservation
Reservation means to purchase rights for the usage of a facility or some service for a specified and limited
period of time i.e., to reserve a right temporarily.
When one purchases such rights for any location or for occupancy of a seat for traveling to any corner of
the world through Internet, it is called online reservation or ‘e-Reservation’ or ‘e-Booking’.
Internet has proved to be of great help for travellers as railway tickets, airline tickets, etc. can be booked at
any point of time from any corner of the world (where Internet connection is available). Through Internet,
there is facility to reserve tickets in railways and airlines (or even book rooms at hotels) without standing
in a queue in railway reservation counter or at the airport, irrespective of locations.
A person has to simply open the web site of the service provider and make the reservation. It helps to
make the reservation for any type of occupancy very easily as it instantly informs about the latest status
of availability of occupancy after updating the information.
