Veturis partners with SiteMinder

-

BANGKOK, 19 July 2018:  One of Europe’s fast-growing bedbanks, Veturis Travel, has partnered with the global hotel cloud platform, SiteMinder, to strengthen its presence across Asia.

The wholesale travel agency is upping its investment in cloud-based technology as part of a recent transition to dynamic-online rates and a strategy to expand its direct contracts with hotels.

Veturis Travel supports more than 180,000 hotels via a business-to-business interface with travel agencies and destination management companies in more than 70 countries, including Thailand, where more than 8,000 hotels are based.

From its established presence in markets such as Italy, France and the USA, as well as Spain, its home-base country, the bedbank is now looking to expand across Asia and Europe.

“The landscape for wholesalers is changing and key to remaining relevant is specialisation and adding value to our partners, to help them compete through distribution.

“Our partnership with SiteMinder represents a great, strategic evolution for Veturis Travel,” said Veturis Travel head of sales support Irma Mesa.

In addition to hotels, Veturis Travel also offers cruises transfers, tour packages and other travel products.

“In a world where digitisation has become the order of the day, traditional hotel distribution channels such as wholesalers are facing new challenges and more competition than ever before. Organisations such as Veturis Travel prove not only the wholesaler sector’s continued value, but also its resilience and ability to adapt,” said SiteMinder regional manager for Spain, Portugal and Brazil, Mateus Coelho.

SiteMinder offers a single-point of entry to a six-figure network of travel agents and the world’s major global distribution systems. With more than 30,000 hotel customers and 600 of the industry’s top connectivity providers as its partners, the company has a presence in more than 160 countries on six continents.
