Industry luminaries spanning many disciplines join to create a network that will offer consumers the ability to book a cornucopia of travel and entertainment all in one place; be it around the corner or around the globe.
LAS VEGAS – One Degree World, Inc. announced the launch of its state-of-the-art platform designed to offer travelers ease-of-access for all of their destination bookings and reservations. The web-based technology, which will be accessible to the public November 15, will provide consumers a single solution for booking airlines, hotels, rental cars, entertainment, sports, concerts, special events, theme parks, attractions, restaurants, limos, museums, and more.
The company reunites members from Vegas.com and combines them with other top-level executives, whose career highlights include some of the world’s biggest brands including Wal-Mart, Google, Caesars, Amazon, Travelport, and American Airlines, among others.
“One Degree World was built from the consumer point of view. We have spent years researching the overall consumer experience, including what they want, how they want it, when they want it, and we know they want the best prices available,” said One Degree World Founder and CEO Howard Lefkowitz. “One Degree World is about bringing joy back to travel and entertainment. Everyone talks about enhancing the customer experience, but because our focus is exclusively concentrated on the customer, we have created some new patent pending technologies that will revolutionize the travel experience.”
“People used to go to several different places for all of their shopping needs and Wal-Mart brought great prices and an amazing selection under one roof,” said Board of Directors member Bill Fields, former CEO of Wal-Mart Stores. “We are bringing that concept to One Degree World.”
The One Degree World e-commerce solution can orchestrate reservations for:
- More than 300 cities
- More than 500,000 hotels
- Nearly 900 airlines
- 26,000 tours and attractions
- Concert, sports, theme parks and event venues globally
- A myriad of restaurants that number in the thousands
- Accessibility in 58 different languages and 93 currencies
Headquartered in Las Vegas, with additional offices coming soon in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, One Degree World has a team of top programmers and tech developers working on state-of-the-art technology that will put the world literally at the traveler’s fingertips.
“We are even trying to figure out how to help our customers pack,” adds Lefkowitz.
