Travelocity forges deal with Radius
Travelocity Business has forged an agreement with global business travel player Radius in what looks like a great synergy of automation and coalface agent expertise.
Radius has more than 90 travel agencies operating from more than 3,600 branch locations in more than 80 countries, producing US$20 billion in sales.
The move will see the Travelocity Business offering given a more localised background with agents around the world able to offer an experienced, knowledgable service on any continent.
Travelocity president Lesley Harris said: “Corporations are increasingly upfront about their intentions to grow business in all corners of the globe, and comprehensive travel programmes are needed to ensure that rate, service and security requirements are met wherever the traveller may be going.
“Our new relationship with Radius answers a need for both clients and prospects by efficiently tying into an impressive collection of regional travel management companies that understand the requirements of today’s business travellers.”
