Worldhotels has signed a co-operation agreement with TravelSky, a leading provider of information technology solutions for China's booming air travel and tourism industry.

The agreement significantly opens China’s e-travel market to Worldhotels’ collection of more than 450 hotels.

TravelSky’s global computer reservation system is subscribed to by over 7,000 Chinese travel agents.

Its GDS system, equivalent to Abacus, also supports more than 8,000 domestic hotels and 60,000 hotels around the world.

It processes more than 200 million passengers through 30 domestic airlines and 200 regional and international airlines at 147 airports in China.

“This partnership dramatically extends our potential distribution reach in China’s rapidly growing travel market,” said Worldhotels Vice President Asia-Pacific Roland Jegge. “It is a significant milestone for Worldhotels in the world’s most populous country. More than 57 million Chinese tourists are expected to travel abroad in 2011, spending a staggering US$55 billion. According to latest reports the travel boom will send three million more Chinese travellers abroad in 2011 than last year, with a larger amount of outbound tourist spending.”

TravelSky is headquartered in Beijing, with more than 4,000 employees. The company was listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange in 2008 and has subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Europe and the USA.
