ACTIGLOBE CHOOSES GOQUO DYNAMIC PACKAGING AND BOOKING
ENGINES
London, 08 May 2007
– Award-winning online and dynamic packaging specialist GoQuo
Ltd (www.goquo.com) is to provide its GQ Dynamic solution and a
suite of internet booking engines to the online agency service
of international travel business ActiGlobe SA.
ActiGlobe, headquartered in Athens with a technical department
in London, claims a unique market position. Established 11 years
ago by a team of journalists, researchers and experienced
travellers, it provides a full travel agency service through its
web site, as well as daily travel news stories and
up-to-the-minute travel media coverage. Its travel agency
services include hotel, flight, cruise, car rental, spa, package
holiday and last-minute offers, as well as sports and events
ticketing.
As part a major upgrade to its online presence, ActiGlobe has
commissioned GoQuo to install its GQ Dynamic solution which will
enable online customers to package travel products, such as
flights, hotels, car rental and travel insurance, in one
booking. The solution will also be programmed to suggest travel
product components or combinations to the customer, so improving
choice and sales potential.
The full GoQuo solution includes a B2C flight booking engine
(including an insurance booking module), a hotel booking engine
with XML access to GoQuo’s Hotelbeds accommodation provider and
to other requested suppliers, and a car booking engine with XML
access to requested suppliers. The solution goes live very soon.
Katerina Karakosta, Product & Marketing Manager at ActiGlobe in
Athens, explained: “ActiGlobe’s success, both as a source of
news and information on all aspects of travel and as a full
service agency, is based on the enthusiasm and professionalism
of our staff. But we realised that we could do much more with
our web site presence to deliver more choice for our customers
and therefore more sales opportunity for the business. GoQuo
impressed with its track record and expertise in helping
agencies upgrade their online activities, and we’re confident
we’ll soon see looks turning into bookings.”
GoQuo MD Ron Ramanan added that ActiGlobe’s business aspirations
are typical of what many agencies are striving to achieve
online. “By integrating efficient dynamic packaging and booking
engine technologies with its core web site, ActiGlobe will have
a powerful new distribution and sales channel.”
