Galileo signs major French travel group
Galileo has signed up the Wasteels Group, one of the top five French travel groups.
The Wasteels Group, which includes Voyages Wasteels and OTU Voyages has nearly 100 offices throughout France and specializes in rail and leisure travel.
Commenting on the win, Galileo’s executive vice president and managing director EMEA, Gordon Wilson (left) said: “The agreement reached with Wasteels represents the largest customer win achieved by Galileo in its history of operations in France, which is the third largest travel market in Europe.
“The Wasteels conversion is a testament to the investment Galileo has made in its products for the French market, particularly the rail and leisure products in addition to our air, car rental and hotel capabilities. It is also a reflection of the customer-focused efforts of our teams working in our French and European operations.”
Wasteels will begin to move its operations to the Galileo platform in early 2003. It will use both Galileo global products, such as the Viewpoint 3.0 graphical user interface, and Web Services, as well as locally developed products such as Galileo Leisure Pro.
Additionally, Wasteels will take advantage of a new negotiated fares database developed by Galileo’s Danish subsidiary, TravelWare, in which Galileo International has had a controlling interest since September 2002.
