Under this significant agreement, Travelport will become Morning Star’s key travel technology provider. Travel agents across all Morning Star locations, including their headquarters in Kowloon and office in Macau, will have immediate access to Travelport’s comprehensive air, accommodation and ground content.

The company has received numerous awards by various airlines, tourism boards and travel organizations, such as the “Greater China Super Brands Award 2012 by East Week Magazine” and “The Most Popular Korea Tour Award by Weekend Weekly.”

“We are delighted to have signed this new agreement with Travelport,” comment’s Mr. Peter Sung, CEO of Morning Star. “While Morning Star is experiencing strong and continuous growth, we needed to equip our employees with a reliable, efficient and comprehensive travel IT platform to provide better services to our customers.
