The tool also boosts the visibility of FastBooking client hotels among the 65,000 connected travel agency customers in the worldwide Travelport network and create more high value opportunities.

It combines the metasearch functionality and user interface developed by Sprice.com with Travelport’s core B2B expertise to deliver a completely integrated hotel-booking platform.

Travelport said the tool was part of the company’s ongoing drive to enhance its hospitality offering to travel agents worldwide.

“The FastBooking portfolio of independent hotels located in high demand destinations is fantastic new content for the increasing number of Travelport Rooms and More travel agency users,” said Niklas Andreen, Travelport’s group vice president, global hospitality (picured above).

Alain Hirschfeld, FastBooking’s marketing director, business development, said the agreement with Travelport was in line with its goal of increasing its hotels’ online business with travel agencies worldwide and consolidating its position in this high-potential segment.
