Advantage Travel partnership’s global business travel director Guy Snelgar said: “We are
delighted to be working with International Rail Limited.
“This new partnership will enable our members to offer another travel option to their clients as well as be able to offer more sustainable modes of transport.
“We are keen to ensure that our members are able to offer a wide range of travel options for their clients, so as part of the agreement, members will benefit from preferred terms covering both the licence and booking fees.
“International rail is an independent, owner managed business which enables them to deliver an agile and personalised service to their customers and is a great fit for the Advantage membership.”
Advantage said International Rail has more contracts with rail companies globally than any other firm of its kind and can cover almost any point-to-point journey anywhere in the world.
Caitlin Cornish from International Rail said the agency’s purpose is to make global rail “effortless for travel agents” by providing “fast, seamless accessibility and support that benefits their clients and their travellers”.
