Travelport has announced the renewal of its partnership with Uniglobe Let’s Go Travel - one of East Africa’s best known and longest established tour operators.

The news follows Travelport’s recent announcement of investment in East Africa, and the new three-year contract is a testament to the confidence that the local industry continues to have in Travelport’s innovative product offering and unrivalled customer service.

Under the new agreement, Uniglobe Let’s Go Travel will continue to benefit from Travelport’s leading-edge products including Smartpoint search and booking tool, as well as gain access to Travelport’s latest technology solutions.

These include Agentivity - Travelport’s business intelligence suite for travel agents - and Travelport Mobile Agent, the unique mobile Global Distribution Systems application that enables agents to gain full access to Travelport content from their iPad or iPhone device anytime, anywhere.

“Having worked with Travelport for several years now, we know that they have the right technology and support to meet all of our requirements and to help us reach the next level in our journey,” said Allan Dixson, managing director, Uniglobe Let’s Go Travel.

“Travelport understands our business, their technology solutions remain ahead of the industry curve, and they can provide critical, hands-on support.

“We look forward to continuing our mutually beneficial relationship over the coming years.”

The new agreement with Uniglobe Let’s Go Travel is the latest milestone in Travelport’s continued growth in East Africa.

It follows the recent launch of a direct Travelport operation for travel agents in Nairobi, and a number of notable customer signings including a renewed deal with Uniglobe Skylink Travel & Tours in Tanzania.
