Spring Breaks R Us (SBRU) is an online travel servicethat books spring break trips to resorts for collegestudents. Students have booked spring break trips fordecades, but changes in technology have transformedthe travel business in recent years. SBRU moved awayfrom having campus representatives with posted fliers and movedto the Web early on. The basic idea is to get a groupof students to book a room at a resort for one of thetraditional spring break weeks. SBRU contracts withdozens of resorts in key spring break destinations likeFlorida, Texas, the Caribbean, and Mexico. Its Website shows information on each resort and includesprices, available rooms, and special features. Studentscan research and book a room, enter contract information,and pay deposits and final payments throughthe system. SBRU provides updated booking information,resort information updates, and travel informationfor booked students when they log in to the site.

The resorts also need access to information fromSBRU. They need to know about their bookings foreach week, the room types that are booked, and soforth. Before the spring break booking season starts,they need to enter information on their resorts, includingprices and special features. Resorts need to be paidby SBRU for the bookings, and they need to be able toreport and collect for damages caused by spring breakersduring their stay.

SBRU has recently decided to upgrade its systemto provide social networking features for students. Itis currently researching possibilities and collecting informationfrom prospective customers about desirablefeatures and functions. From the business standpoint,the idea is to increase bookings by enhancing theexperiencebefore, during, and after the trip.
