Advertorial: Travelport and Global Travel Management sign multi-year renewal agreement

Travelport has announced a multi-year renewal agreement with long-standing customer, Global Travel Management (GTM), one of the UK’s leading privately owned travel management companies.

As part of the agreement, GTM will continue to process its travel bookings through the Travel Commerce Platform, providing them with access to Travelport’s unrivalled travel content – including the branded fares and ancillaries from the world’s leading airlines and low cost carriers, as well as over 650,000 hotel properties.

GTM agents will continue to access this content through Travelport Smartpoint, Travelport’s industry leading point of sale solution that provides rich, graphical detail in one workflow and means agents do not have to spend time accessing the websites of numerous travel providers.

Scott Pawley, Managing Director, Global Travel Management said “After reviewing all the major GDS suppliers, looking not only back on what they have offered the industry over the last three years but more importantly how they are approaching the future three years and beyond, for GTM Travelport was the clear winner.

“It’s innovative approach with products like Travelport Smartpoint, which allows us to sell airline ancillaries, has been a key factor in our success and growth and with its new products on the horizon such as Locomote it’s clear they are looking to the future.”

Paul Broughton, Regional Managing Director of UK and Ireland at Travelport, added: “We are very pleased to have renewed this agreement and continue our long-standing relationship with GTM.

“We are glad the company has continued to see the advantage of combining the broadest possible choice in travel content with smart tools that empower their agents to sell that content more effectively to meet their customers’ travel management needs.”
