Worldspan certifies latest internet booking product
Worldspan has announced its latest e-commerce travel-booking product to be interfaced to the Worldspan system, Vinet Internet Booking Engine (Vinet IBE).
Vinet IBE, developed by Vinet Global, is an Internet booking engine that facilitates availability searches, bookings, cancellations and time schedules for flights, hotels and car rentals. The product is being marketed to traditional and online travel agencies across Europe and has already won business in the UK, Hungary and Romania.
Vinet IBE provides small to medium sized travel agents, or companies wishing to have an online travel presence, with a fully functional web site that may be customised and configured to suit individual requirements. Vinet IBE can be used to set up a stand-alone travel web site or can be inserted into the customer’s existing site. Customers brand their web site appearance as desired by changing colours, images, logos and templates.
A key feature of Vinet IBE is its facility to store private fares. A travel agency can integrate its own private or negotiated fares into the booking engine allowing them to display both types of fare.
Commented on the product, Tim Wright, Staff Vice President of E-commerce, EMEA, said: “Worldspan is constantly searching for and developing products to enable travel agencies to truly harness the power of the Internet. The pan-European launch of Vinet IBE further solidifies our position as the market leader in e-commerce for the travel industry.”
