Expedia agents arriving on a new platform
Expedia TAAP is rolling out a new platform for Australian travel agents.
The TAAP 3.0 platform has been launched recently across major Expedia TAAP markets in Europe.
"Results of the European rollout have seen a rise in bookings almost immediately," says Stuart Udy, who looks after the Expedia TAAP in Australia and New Zealand.
The local launch is scheduled for Wednesday, December 11.
Udy said the booking process using the Expedia website would not change "but the log-in and back-end processes have been streamlined significantly".
Login has been modified to a single step process. TAAP 3.0 automatically generates unbranded vouchers for agents to self-brand, print or forward to their customers.
"One of the most impressive features is the automatic generation of a GDS string. Agents simply cut and paste the GDS string into their GDS and it generates a passive segment," Udy said.
"Expedia TAAP in ANZ had a record transaction month in October. These new features will help agents manage the processing and reporting of all that activity," Udy added.
Due to the data migration underway, new Expedia TAAP applications will be temporarily shut down until the new process in Australia and New Zealand is live.
