Holguin: Web platform available for beach trip reservations

A web platform for booking trips to the beach during the summer season was implemented by the Holguin Provincial Transportation Company, as part of the sector’s efforts aimed at the informatization of Cuban society.

Hosted on the QvaLike website and accessible at https://qvalike.xutil.net, the platform offers the possibility of making online reservations and payments using the Enzona payment gateway, without having to leave the web page.

Rosmery Ricardo Vargas, communicator of the entity, explained to the Cuban News Agency (ACN) that the user can have up to four seats, for the value of 100 pesos each, initially in a Diana bus with capacity for 23 passengers.

He also stressed that the first trip to Guardalavaca beach, scheduled for Sunday 13, was sold out in less than 24 hours after it was put into service.

Reynier Velázquez Morales, senior IT specialist at the company, pointed out that the development of the platform was created with an easy-to-use interface, offering interested parties all the necessary information, such as date, departure time, departure point, ticket price and other details of the excursion.

After logging in, the user has five minutes to enter his or her password, make the payment and then receive a confirmation email along with a digital ticket to be displayed when boarding the bus on the scheduled day, thus guaranteeing a fast and secure transaction.

Initially, the platform makes available a bus that will work on a daily basis, while on weekends the service will be increased, according to technical availability conditions, and gradually more vehicles will be incorporated to other recreational destinations within the province, he said.

QvaLike is a suite designed to facilitate the online reservation of artistic, cultural, educational and sports events, developed by the Holguín Territorial Division of Xetid, a leading Cuban company in technological solutions aimed at the computarization of society.

The efforts of the Holguín Provincial Transportation Company and the Holguín Bus Bus Base Business Unit joined this effort to promote and stimulate among the population the use of electronic payment channels as part of the summer recreational options.
