Travelport, the leading provider of critical transaction processing
solutions and data for the global travel industry, has today announced
the renewal of a multi-year distribution partnership with Galileo
Vietnam. The re-signing of this significant agreement sees Galileo
Vietnam continue as the national distribution company (NDC) for
Travelport’s technology and service in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
To celebrate the extended agreement, a signing ceremony and gala
dinner was held at the Legend Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, with key
airlines, agency partners and VIPs in attendance.
The renewal of the agreement comes after ten successful years of
partnership between Galileo Vietnam and Travelport. Through this
partnership, Galileo Vietnam has introduced Galileo GDS to almost 500
travel agency partners in the region.
Patrick Andres, Travelport’s Vice President and Regional Managing
Director, Asia Pacific, says, “Vietnam is one of my favorite countries
to visit with beautiful natural landscapes, friendly people and vibrant
cities such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. 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.
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, says, “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, and continuing to provide cutting edge
solutions to travel agencies. We’re very excited about the future of the
industry in this region, and about our role in it.”
