Lastminute one of four more partners for Bluebell
Bluebell Networks has found four more distribution partners for its holiday products.
The online distributor has signed deals with Lastminute.com, Lycos UK, AOL and Onlinegolf.co.uk in the last month. The agreements means Bluebell will provide the websites with tour operators’ inventory that can be booked in real time in return for a revenue share.
Bluebell managing director, Stuart Cruttenden told TravelMole: “These distribution partners will sell all or some of our operators’ products, depending on their market. The technology is simple – it can be slotted into anyones website and we white label it to give it the look and feel of their website.”
The tour operators that provide inventory to Bluebell are mostly specialists. There are 20 signed up including Guerba, 3D Golf, and Tropical Locations.
Mr Cruttenden told TravelMole that Bluebell expects to announce more distribution partners shortly, as well as more operators, including one deal which will see the company enter into the luxury holiday market including tropical and Indian holidays.
Bluebell was awarded the TravelMole Tourism Web Award for the best travel agency website in March 2003.
