4 April 2000
TelMe.com continues to build its international strategy
- Announces partnership with 1Travel.com of the US
TelMe.com plc, the UK internet services company has signed a
strategic partnership with 1Travel.com (www.1travel.com),
the fifth largest internet travel service in the USA with
over 3 million visitors per month, to provide 1Travel
visitors with European ticketing .
Under the terms of the partnership, 1Travel.com will direct
all its European traffic from its site to
www.telmeglobaltraveller.com, TelMe.com plc's European web-
based travel service. With between five and seven percent of
1Travel.com's visitor traffic coming from European
travellers, TelMe.com expects approximately 150,000 visitors
to be directed to TelMe Global Traveller each month.
As a result, 1Travel.com will be able to provide ticketing
services to non-US based travellers visiting its website by
directing them through TelMe Global Traveller. Currently,
1Travel.com only issues travel reservations to travellers
departing from US airports.
This agreement with 1Travel.com is part of a continuing
strategy for TelMe.com to build international presence and
awareness. This partnership will go live in the middle of
April 2000.
Commented Graham Ramsey, Chief Executive of TelMe.com, 'We
are very pleased to sign this partnership. We have been
extremely successful in rolling out our marketing strategy
so far and are well on the path to building TelMe Global
Traveller's international presence.'
Added Sally Lewis, Chief Operating Officer of 1Travel.com,
'This is a win-win partnership for both our companies.
Together we will now cover both Europe and the US. We can
now offer great service and fulfilment to our European users
through the partnership with TelMe.com. Before this
partnership, we were unable to provide such a truly
international service.'
