MAKING IT EASIER FOR AGENTS

Travelport and Softvoyage are partnering to integrate a number of enhancements into Galileo Vacations\’ booking engine, with the changes making it easier for agents to book vacations for their clients. As a result of the collaboration between the two companies, travel agents using Galileo Vacations now have immediate access to Package+ and the wide range of efficient shopping features it offers. Designed to reduce the time spent searching, comparing and booking packages provided by the major Canadian tour operators, benefits of the Package+ software include the ability to search for single, triple and quad rooms as well as the option to search for groups of up to six adults.
Package+ features include: ability to search single, triple and quad occupancy; added non-adult age criteria; search for up to 6 adults; additional selection for number of rooms; new result display including nights versus days; and all room categories in one display.
Dan Langevin, vice president, sales and marketing for Softvoyage, said: \”Package+ has been designed with the travel agent in mind and significantly speeds up some of the processes involved when quoting and booking packages. We\’re delighted to be partnering with Travelport in Canada and making it available to Travelport customers.\”

The Package+ software is incredibly empowering and allows Travelport-connected agents to offer superior customer service. This development very much forms part of our ongoing commitment to provide travel agents in Canada with the richest of travel content delivered through the most effective tools.\”
