Travelport boosts entertainment content

02 Jun 2015  2050 | Cambodia Events & Sports

Travel agents connected to the Travelport GDS are now able to book thousands of entertainment products, following a new partnership with the Ingresso Group.

An Ingresso Entertainment Tickets plug-in is now available to travel agents using the Travelport Smartpoint agency system. This will enable agents to book and earn commissions on theatre and attraction tickets and sightseeing tours worldwide. The plug-in is free to download from Travelport Marketplace.

“We are delighted to offer our travel agency customers access to the Ingresso Entertainment Tickets plug-in through Travelport Smartpoint,” said Simon Ferguson, Travelport’s managing director for the UK, Ireland & Nordics. “The plug-in offers a real cross-sell opportunity and agents can set the price and choose the commission they charge in order to boost revenue.

“This latest announcement is part of Travelport’s strategy to invest in developing new technologies and ideas, all on an open platform that delivers expansive content and improves customer service. We are pleased that Ingresso has seen the value that Travelport’s Travel Commerce Platform can bring to its business.”

The new plug-in allows agents to search for attractions by airport code or general terms, such as ‘New York tours’, and receive immediate email confirmation. Details of purchased tickets will be fully integrated into passenger name records (PNRs) and back-office systems.
