TelMe.com signs exclusive strategic travel partnership with
ATP to provide travel technology and services to
WorldOnline
TelMe.com plc, the UK's internet and e-commerce services
provider, has announced a strategic partnership with
Advanced Travel Partners (Netherlands) for the exclusive
provision of travel technology and services for World
Online's worldwide travel portal, Voyager.
Under the terms of the Agreement, TelMe has licensed its
award winning travel technology, Ticket Window, as the
booking engine for the Voyager portal, and TelMe will also
be the exclusive fulfilment partner for the UK market for
World Online through to the end of 2001 at least.
ATP have an exclusive agreement with World Online to
provide travel services across Europe. They selected
Ticket Window technology due to its depth of functionality
and resilience, including the capability to provide multi-
currency options within the portal and allowing queuing of
bookings to multiple agencies around the world. This will
enable travellers throughout the WorldOnline territories to
have local fulfilment of tickets in their own currency from
a variety of suppliers.
The technology also offers the capability to integrate the
discounted fare contracts of agents from around Europe,
thereby ensuring travellers have the best possible fares to
choose from. These features are not provided by any other
similar technology available in the market today.
As well as providing technology for the Voyager portal as a
whole, TelMe will provide fulfilment on all travel booked
through the portal for the UK market.
Voyager will go live in the UK from early June and will be
accessible via WorldOnline's website: www.worldonline.co.uk.
Commented Graham Ramsey, CEO of TelMe.com, 'This is a very
important strategic partnership for us as it will enable us
to expand our technology footprint in Europe. Also, in the
interest of customers worldwide, we expect our travel
technology will help in creating a competitive and fair
marketplace.'
