Worldspan creates ‘web-like’ rail booking tool
An interactive rail booking tool for train bookings has been introduced by Worldspan
The GDS claims the Go! Rail Booking Tool makes train bookings as simple for travel agents as arranging travel online.
It will sit alongside other new interactive desktop tools for booking low fares, car rentals and hotels.
The tool eliminates traditional GDS entries, replacing them with intuitive, web-like booking tools to simplify and accelerate the rail buying process, Worldspan claims.
The shopping, booking and commission-generating tool sits on the travel agent’s desktop for quick and easy access. It is available for free to Worldspan agents globally.
North American, European and Japanese rail service providers are featured through graphical displays, using point-and-click navigation, mouse-over functionality, pull-down menus, interactive calendars and a route mapping tool that fully integrate with the Worldspan GDS.
UK agents have access to the full product portfolio of Amtrak in North America, selected European rail services sold under the AccesRail umbrella, Japan Rail East passes, and London Airport Express services to/from Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted.
