Travelport has announced a significant enhancement in global air search speed for travel agents using Travelport+, its innovative agent-focused modern retailing platform. With the rise in search volumes caused by increasing content fragmentation, Travelport+ now provides results in merely 0.84 seconds, achieving a speed 23% faster than before, despite a 200% growth in shopping volumes since 2023.
This breakthrough in search speed, combined with improved booking features, allows travel agents to react more quickly, work more efficiently, and enhance customer experiences. By integrating Travelport’s renowned API suite and new technologies like the Content Optimizer and Productivity Automator, the platform is simplifying complex workflows and boosting revenue opportunities for agencies.
This agent-centric strategy has consistently received high ratings in comparative industry surveys, especially in North America, establishing Travelport+ as the smarter, more intuitive modern retail solution:
- In a recent independent global survey conducted by Dynata with 1,289 travel industry users and decision-makers from around the world (EMEA, APAC, and Americas), Travelport was rated #1 for ease of use by travel agents.
- Travelport was also recognized as #1 for innovative technology in the same Dynata survey, scoring 11% higher than its competitors in the United States.
- The company earned the top spot in Travel Agency Software on G2.com, based on user feedback and satisfaction ratings, and was honored with various G2 awards, including “Best Relationship,” “Grid Leader,” and “Users Love Us.”
“We deliver for travel agencies because we think like a travel agent. Agents’ needs are at the heart of our business, and their success in working smarter, selling better, and growing faster is our mission,” said Greg Webb, Chief Executive Officer of Travelport. “From our lightning-fast search speeds to smart automation and machine intelligence, Travelport+ is the only modern retailing platform built with travel agents in mind.”
Travelport’s advancements in search speed and high customer satisfaction ratings exemplify its ongoing commitment to invest in innovative technology that enables travel agents to succeed in an increasingly complex retail environment.
