Travelport has signed a new multi-year distribution partnership with Galileo Vietnam.
The agreement, which marks an extension of the previous contract, sees Galileo Vietnam continue as the national distributor of Travelport’s technology in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
The renewal was marked by a signing ceremony and gala dinner held at the Legend Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, attended by airlines, travel agencies and other dignitaries. It follows 10 years of partnership between Galileo Vietnam and Travelport, during which time it has added 500 travel agencies to Travelport’s network in the region.
“The travel industry in this region is expected to experience stronger growth in the years to come as a result of increased disposable income and improved living standards,” said Patrick Andres, Travelport’s vice president & regional managing director for Asia Pacific. “Travelport could not be more pleased to continue the successful working relationship we have with Galileo Vietnam during these exciting times of change. Their commitment to outstanding service in delivering our technology and services to the local travel agent community makes them a key partner in the region and an excellent representative of the Travelport group.”
Pham Van Hien, chairman of Galileo Vietnam, added; “Our vision at Galileo Vietnam is to provide our customers with the best solutions in technology and services across aviation, hospitality and tourism. In utilising the Galileo GDS, many of the airlines we have worked with have reduced their distribution costs by 80%. We look forward to continuing our work with Travelport.”
Galileo Vietnam was established in 2002 and is the sole representative of Travelport in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. It currently operates six offices in the region.
