George Rajan, VP Sales TPConnects commented: “We are pleased to launch the Go Online Software as a Service (SaaS) web based application to Global Travel Agents. With IATA’s NDC getting adopted by 67 of the world’s largest airlines, it is imperative that agents should have their own booking engine to plug the multiple APIs provided by these airlines along with other suppliers like GDS, Hotel Suppliers, Low Cost Carriers etc. Agents can now have their own digital assets with a minimal investment of USD 2000 set up fees plus per passenger transaction fees. Those who would like to have a customized solution can opt for additional packages at additional cost."
99% of the travel agents in the world today doesn’t have their own website with booking engine, B2B agent platform, Corporate Booking Tool and Mobile Apps.
Some of the functionalities of the “Go Online” initiative includes; Travel Agents can add as many sub agents and corporates with individual mark up, apply tour codes or corporate codes, multi-currency, include and exclude airlines or hotels etc. The mobile apps will be on both iOS and Android.
Todays travellers are more tech savvy and they prefer to do their travel arrangements using digital media like an Online Travel Portal or Mobile Application. Travel Agents have to spend a substantial amount of money to own their own digital assets and with more and more suppliers especially airlines offering direct connectivity, the cost of maintaining these digital assets will become uneconomical. This is where TPConnects “Go Online” Software as a Solution assist travel agents as we take care of all the technology enhancements, added George Rajan.
