HOLIDAY TOURS PIONEERS DYNAMIC PACKAGING IN MALAYSIA
Kuala Lumpur, 29 January 2007 - Malaysia’s largest
travel management company, Holiday Tours & Travel Sdn
Bhd (www.holidaytours.com.my),
has become the first travel business in the country to
feature dynamic packaging technology which gives
superior choice, convenience and service to its online
customers.
The
solution, which enables Holiday Tours & Travels’ online
customers to tailor-make their own choice of travel
arrangements, was developed and implemented by
fast-growing British online technology solutions
provider GoQuo Ltd (www.goquo.com),
which recently opened its first office in Kuala Lumpur.
Using
GoQuo’s robust, value-for-money GQDynamic solution,
which has been fully customised to Holiday Tours’
business requirements, its leisure and business travel
customers can search amongst thousands of individual
travel products, select and assemble them in a virtual
‘package, and then book and pay in just a few mouse
clicks.
A
fast-growing phenomenon in the online travel market,
dynamic packaging provides travellers with far more
individually-tailored travel arrangements, instead of
having to buy standard travel and tour packages.
Founded in 1972, Holiday Tours & Travel today leads
Malayasia’s corporate travel market, and is increasing
its share in the leisure travel sector, offering full
agency services, such as flights, hotels, car rental,
coaches, cruises, tours and insurance, for inbound and
outbound travellers, whether business, leisure,
incentive or group.
GoQuo
won a prestigious award for its online dynamic packaging
at last November’s World Travel Market in London, is
expanding its travel agent, consolidator and tour
operator customer base with around two new customers a
month, and is continuing to enhance its online solutions
with new functionality that enhances the end-customer
experience.
Ms
Pink Kee, Information Technology Manager of Holiday
Tours, commented: “This booking engine has provided a
cost-effective opportunity for us to boost our online
presence and expand our customer base with a website
customised in our own look and feel. Working with an
Abacus-certified supplier such as GoQuo Malaysia has
enabled us to provide more value for our customers by
providing real-time access to a full range of search
choices for air, hotel and car content as well as travel
insurance and package holidays.”
Ron
Ramanan, GoQuo founder and managing director, commented:
“We are delighted to be associated with Holiday Tours &
Travel’s pioneering development in Malaysia. Our online
technology should help enhance its reputation further by
offering its customers superior choice, convenience and
value.”
