According to the company, “Through cumulative experience of over 17 years across Asia, engagement with travel suppliers worldwide, understanding of the supply chain ... TAcentre.com was developed to enable travel agencies further improve their customer service efficiency.”
CEO of Asiatravel.com, Mr Boh Tuang Poh, said “We built this booking engine after extensive research and consultation with customers, travel agents and travel suppliers.
“We are very encouraged by the initial response during the trial period with customers booking packages even for up to nine persons in just a single transaction entirely online.
“We hope this product will benefit travel agencies as we believe they will continue to play an important role in a growing travel industry. As a home grown travel agency in Asia, we hope this will help the travel trade industry increase its productivity”.
Thai-Amadeus Southeast Asia Managing Director, Mr Buranut Limjitti, stated “Amadeus itself has advanced technology, while Asiatravel has expertise in travel business.
“When these two are integrated ... I do believe this initiative will be truly beneficial for retail travel agents and the online travel industry as a whole”.
