Magic Desktop, the industry’s fastest growing portal and selling system, will demonstrate how agents can carry out availability searches across no frills airlines and tour operators quickly and efficiently as well as hosting a number of other web enabled selling tools.

Agents looking to create tailor-made holidays for customers will be interested in Bedbank which will also be at the Vertical Systems Group stands. Bedbank enables agents to search efficiently for accommodation only.

The Freedom Travel Group is one of the fastest growing travel retail consortiums in the UK and agents will be able to see first hand how it can improve their profits and remove overheads.

The Vertical Systems Group works in partnership with a vast range of travel clients including tour operators, small independent agents, homeworkers and multi-site agents with over 100 branches.

Peter Whittle, Call-link’s head of marketing and product development, said: “We have so many products to showcase at this year’s World Travel Market that we had to double our stand size.

“We have the complete range of technology solutions for travel agents and if they have any queries then they really only need to visit our stand for answers.

“So if you visit one technology stand at this year’s World Travel Market, make it ours!””
