Bituin Abi, (August 2010), 658 Apartelle Online Reservation System. Short term base lodging is the main
reason that a hotel has been established. In the Philippines, wherein many foreign people go and have a
vacation, hotel is always their first destination to have relaxation after long hours of travel in an
airplane. Because of the rapid increase of foreigners visiting the Philippines for a vacation, a common sight is
the establishments and sophisticated hotels for competitive advantage.
As the result of the competition between different hotels, various business strategies had been made to attract
customers, such as putting discounts, having beautiful and relaxing environment and above all having a state of
the art computer system and facilities.
The current problem observed is the manual guest list records, the manual reservation of guests, the
manual booking of rooms for the guests which takes a long time to accomplish.
According to the manager in the establishment, because they keep on doing their job manually, it resulted to a
very messy office, lots of papers around the desks and sometimes important documents disappear. From the
information gathered, the proponents came up with an idea of proposing a system that is relevant to the needs of
the establishment, highly efficient to meet their needs and most of all simple, easy to use system.
The 658 Apartelle Online Reservation Management System is not only a database for guest list but also an
online reservation system, where potential guest can have online reservation which will automatically be sent to
the database of the 658 Apartelle. Based on the proponents observation and interview, they have found many
problems such as time consuming logging of the guest list names to the log book, difficulties in making
reservations and difficulties in retrieving information on their previous guests because of the papers that are
scattered everywhere and misplacing of the guestless records.
As a conclusion, this system is similar to our system in the solution on that going to provide to
the user. Such as finding a room for a guest, and receive service.
Lagman D, (September 2012), Lan-Based Reservation System for Hacienda Gracia Resort and Hotel. A resort
is a place used for relaxation or recreation, where visitors are being attracted to take their holiday or vacation. It
refers to places, towns or sometimes commercial establishments operated by a single company. On the other
hand, a hotel is differentiated as an establishment that provides paid lodging on a short-term basis. Computer
programmers are continuously developing a system application to better serve resort or hotel guests
because some hotels and resorts are becoming fully automated while others are still striving for the similar
setting.
The researchers introduce a LAN-Based Reservation with Billing System for Hacienda Gracia Resort
and Hotel to improve its reservation and billing system. The advent of new technology gave rise to easy and
hassle-free interaction between and among humans. This is why most hotel and resorts prefer to employ
computerization in their business.

As a conclusion, their system has similarities and difference to our system because we will not focus in billing
system but yet in reservation system.

Online hotel reservations are becoming a very popular method for booking hotel rooms. Travelers can book
rooms from home by using online security to protect their privacy and financial information and by using
several online travel agents to compare prices and facilities at different hotels. People can book directly on an
individual hotels website. An increasing number of hotels are building their own websites to allow them to
market their hotels directly to consumers. Non-franchise chain hotels require a booking engine application to
be attached to their website to permit people to book rooms in real time. One advantage of booking with the
hotel directly is the use of the hotels full cancellation policy as well as not needing a deposit in most situations.

A U.S. Department of Education expert panel reviewed related literature covering the past 20
years and found only six studies of 490 citations which met their causal validity standards as
evidence to support their recommendations in practice. This expert panel made five major
recommendations in a practice guide for using student achievement data to support instructional
decisions: (a) make data part of an ongoing cycle of instructional improvement, (b) teach
students to examine their own data and set goals, (c) establish a clear vision for schoolwide data
use, (d) provide supports that foster a data-driven culture within the school, and (e) develop and
maintain a district wide data system (Hamilton et al., 2009). Deike (2009) identified structured
time and professional development as two principal promoted activities which provide cultural
support and motivate staff to use data.
