The new agreement sees Tripsta connect to Travelport’s Travel Commerce Platform via its Universal API. It will allow their travel agents to search, sell and book Travelport’s unrivalled content including branded fares and ancillaries from over 400 network and low cost carriers, over 650,000 hotels, rail, cruise and car rental companies.
“Tripsta, Travelplanet24 and airtickets.com are big brands, not only in Greece, but across Europe and it’s great they have seen the value in our Travel Commerce Platform”, said Leonidas Zotos, Travelport’s Managing Director of Travelport for Greece, Israel and Cyprus.
