InterGlobe Technology Quotient (ITQ), a strategic business unit of InterGlobe Enterprises, recently launched Travelport’s technological tool Travelport Rooms and More for the Indian market. The product offers smarter, more efficient and evolved booking services to travel agents. It is aimed at improving travel agent’s productivity through the availability of a wide variety of hotel booking options in the hospitality domain.
Travelport Rooms and More is a web-based (UI) hotel price comparison and booking engine. It serves as a one stop shop for travel agents to search, shop and book from a choice of more than 6,00,000 hotel properties with over a million offers available across these properties. Currently, the inventory accessible to both corporate and leisure travel agents in India stands at 90,000 properties across the world.
“India is an extremely important evolved market for ITQ and we see great business potential here. Internet penetration and easy access to information has empowered the consumers (and) they are now looking for quicker turnaround to book their flights and hotel rooms. Emerging trends such as these have helped sync the launch of Travelport Rooms and More in line with the need for technologies that allow travel agents to increase efficiency, save time and ensure accuracy in booking thereby serving customers better,” J B Singh, CEO, ITQ, commented.
According to Travelport’s Niklas Andréen, GVP Hospitality and Partner Marketing, “The time was right to invest in a number of useful upgrades and we are a firm believer in understanding our customer’s needs and evolving our products based on their feedback. It’s particularly exciting to be launching Travelport Rooms and More in India – a country that has seen significant growth in this sector over recent years and a lot of potential for the future.”
