Lastminute is also pushing into Europe with its business-to-business services and has already developed multi-lingual, multi-currency sites for Kuoni in Switzerland and Swiss rail company, SBB.
Group commercial director Vic Darvey said: “For b2b we have been concentrating on the UK for the past eight years and previously we did not have the capability to take it across Europe. Now, because of Sabre, we can provide all of our trade distribution, hotels content and car hire to our European partners.”
