BUSINESS travel management company Rosenbluth International is to open a travel technology laboratory in the UKnext year.
The operation, called Continuum Europe, will be located at Rosenbluth’s European headquarters in London. The laboratory is an environment where clients can test the latest technology from Rosenbluth’s industry partners.
In the agency’s US Continuum branch it features a virtual airline cabin where clients can test a Continental Airline seat beside a United one.
Rosenbluth intends to sign up industry partners to work with the business travel agency. These are expected to include developments in air, hotel, car rental and communications technology. Talks are taking place with a number of companies and it hopes to announce its UK partners in December. Partners working with Continuum in the US include Galileo, British Airways and Alamo.
