eyefortravel.com - Travel Distribution News, Events and Analysis: "the race was on between European corporate self-booking tool providers to see who would be the first to come up with a fully-bookable rail product for Europe"
Leading corporate online travel reservation system GetThere has formed a European team to expand the amount of rail travel its customers can book. (7/12/2004)
The system currently allows British users to book on Eurostar and on domestic rail networks. It wants to expand this capability across Europe and to include bookable content from rail operators in Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy and the Benelux region.
GetThere’s European rail team will work in tandem with Sabre Travel Network developers to build bookable rail content into the system. They will also work independently.
“The objective is to get good, solid bookable rail content into the GetThere system, and we’ll work with whoever we can to make that happen,” Widener said. “GetThere has the advantage of complete GDS neutrality and this appeals to rail operators and some of the third-party content providers with whom we’ve had discussions.”
