Agents who use Multicom’s FindandBook technology are now able to check Eurostar availability and book tickets.
High street agents and online travel companies can now access Eurostar tickets in the same way as they access accommodation, flights or package holidays.
Multicom general manager Chris Nourse said: “The speed and convenience of using Eurostar means it is becoming more and more popular for people searching for ways to travel to Continental Europe.
“As a result Eurostar needed a service which could reliably handle huge numbers of searches and bookings with the speed that customers are growing accustomed to.”
The train operator reported a 21% year-on-year increase in passenger numbers for the first three months of 2008, with a 2.17m passengers travelling. Faster journey times, better punctuality and a growing desire to be environmentally friendly has driven the increase, said the operator.
Multicom also signed a deal recently with Easyjet to distribute its low cost fares to users of FindandBook.
