Travelport Launches Travelport Opinions for U.K. Agents

Travelport is launching Travelport Opinions, an online networking tool for the travel agent community. The new tool, which empowers agents to interact and share knowledge and reviews among peers, has been developed in collaboration with travel technology software provider, Vinivi.

The launch in the U.K. follows the successful introduction of the networking tool in France in June 2009 where it is now used by over 1,700 leisure and business travel agents and tour operator specialists. Travelport Opinions connects travel professionals and draws on their wealth of travel knowledge and experience throughout the world.

Using the tool, agents are able to both create and search hotel reviews, pose questions to destination experts and access a wealth of hotel related media, including over 110,000 photos and 2,500 videos, all within a user-friendly, personalized interface. The tool also includes a private email system and the ability to follow and track updates on specified hotels.
