In an effort to boost its business opportunities, BidTravel has signed a new, strategic agreement with Travelport to see its franchise businesses in Southern Africa continue to have access to the Galileo GDS platform. 
The company is also the first launch partner in Africa for the Travelport Universal Desktop with testing of a bespoke version of the flagship point of sale product already underway.
Under the long-term agreement, BidTravel travel management company brands in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana will have access to Travelport’s content, including a number of Travelport-exclusive deals signed with African airlines. Travelport’s ePricing technology will also be deployed across the BidTravel network, ensuring travel consultants have peace of mind that they are finding the best possible flight options for their customers.
