Travelport, a leading provider of critical transaction processing solutions and data for the global travel industry, today announces a new long-term technology agreement with Holiday Genie, a leading UK independent online travel agency.

The new agreement builds upon 15 years’ technology partnership between Travelport and Holiday Genie, one of the UK’s fastest expanding independent online travel agencies. Holiday Genie will use Travelport’s leading-edge search and e-pricing tools, as well as migrating to the Universal API, opening up access to a greater variety of hotel and ancillary travel content.

“Holiday Genie’s expansion has meant we need a technology provider who can deliver high-performance, high-accuracy search”, Faisal Butt, Managing Director, explained. “We’ve come back to Travelport once again as we know we can count on the superior platform and intelligent content our customers expect.”

“Our continued relationship with Holiday Genie demonstrates Travelport’s leadership in supporting the online travel agent community”, Simon Ferguson, UK & Ireland Regional Director at Travelport, added. “Our goal is to drive them to the next level of expansion through wider range of content, superior search and pricing tools, and access to Travelport’s unique open platform.”
