Travelport Launches New Interactive, User-Friendly Website

Travelport has re-launched its company website. Accessible at http://www.travelport.com/, the site is designed to be more user-friendly and easier to navigate and to provide in-depth information on the travel and tourism industry.

At the forefront of the updated website is a new interactive media center, which will offer convenient travel research tools, including access to extensive data generated by Travelport GDS, a global distribution system business that includes the Worldspan and Galileo brands. Travelport GDS processes more than 20,000 transactions per second and performs over 46 million travel-related searches per day. The data that Travelport generates through the operation of its travel reservation business is a unique resource for insights into the travel industry.

Business Intelligence by Travelport, its data analysis unit, continually analyzes the collected data to identify travel trends, and provide insight into economic and emerging market activity. Current highlights on the re-launched website include three travel insight stories, one on travel trends between the U.S. and China. The economic expansion in Asia and Russia is the focus of the second story. The last insight story highlights growing economic ties between China and the Middle East.

Other elements of the media center include an executive blog and case studies examining thoughts and ideas from Travelport’s senior leadership team regarding the travel and tourism sector. These new features are additions to materials previously available on the website, including corporate and brand press releases, whitepapers and executive bios.
