Teletickets takes off online
Flight-only operator Teletickets’ online bookings are accounting for 20% of its business just one month after going online, the company announced today.
Teletickets’ website, which went live in April, offers travel agents real time commissionable bookings on charter flights serving Spain and the Canaries.
Teletickets’ managing director Neil Chapman said: “We always expected web bookings to form an important part of our operation. With TravelOptions’ solution we believe we’re set for an exponential rise in online business over coming months.”
TravelOptions’ marketing director Tim Argent said: “Teletickets’ success confirms that web bookings are an essential part of an operator’s business, especially in the post-September 11 economic climate where maximising sales without compromising capital is vital.
“Our customers are seeing as much as 60% of their business coming from online bookings. Our solution offers an affordable, flexible route to increased profits.”
Teletickets is the latest operator to go live with web bookings using TravelOptions’ solution, following in the steps of TravelExtras, the Holiday Store, Respect Holidays and Cottages to Castles. Launched in January 2002, TravelOptions’ web-enabling solution delivers operators a total online bookings package for a single payment and a negotiable fee for each booking made, rather than an annual licence.
