Travelport has launched a new travel application
for users of smartphones in the Asia Pacific region.
Following a successful launch in the UK
earlier this year, Travelport ViewTrip Mobile is one of the first,
fully integrated GDS powered travel itinerary apps available.
ViewTrip Mobile delivers time critical
information and other valuable tools to enable travellers to be
fully aware and in control of their travel arrangements at any
time. Among the useful features are:
• One-time
registration with future trips automatically synced to the mobile
• Flight status with live flight alerts
• Detailed airport and city guides
• Location aware services – find offers on local restaurants,
the location of your nearest bank and much more
• Weather
forecasts and currency conversion
• Itinerary management –
add other items to itineraries
Travelport, through their development partner ManticPoint,
is
also offering a white label version of ViewTrip Mobile. The white
label version will enable travel agents to:
• Brand the app
and itineraries using their own logo and colours
• Take
control of content including agency specific help and advice and
decide which affiliate content appears
• Proactively manage
and target communications with the traveller via the app when
disruption or the travel environment changes
“We are
delighted with the addition of ViewTrip Mobile to the services we
can provide for our travellers,” said Caroline Mongey, Operations
Manager for
FCm Travel Solutions Ireland. “We have already
received a number of comments explaining how powerful the app is
and it is clearly enhancing the travel experience while increasing
our value as a travel partner.”
Travelport ViewTrip Mobile will be available to
customers in Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India and Thailand
initially, with other Asia Pacific countries scheduled to follow soon after.
ViewTrip Mobile is available free of charge to all Travelport
travel agency customers currently using the Travelport ViewTrip
itinerary solution. To get started, travellers click the link
included in their ViewTrip itinerary to register and download the
app.
