Retail-Ready
Content

Your customers want options. That means: seeing all the flights, rooms, car rental and rail choices out there. So, agencies need access to the best travel content, that’s easy to understand and compare.

Travelport makes a huge range of offers and ancillaries available from a ton of sources (including NDC) and gets it ‘retail-ready’ (more on this below). Our content offering helps agencies sell the complete trip, and allows travelers to confidently assess alternatives so they don’t lose sleep over booking decisions. This sets the right expectations from the outset, so everyone earns more and makes a great impression.

GETTING CONTENT READY
Aggregation
GATHER CONTENT NEATLY IN ONE PLACE

Every airline, hotel, car or rail provider has it’s own API to shop, book, and service products. We package them together, taking content from different sources and putting it together in one handy place. We aggregate it, so you don’t have to manage multiple direct connections — making it easier for agents to book and suppliers to sell.

01
02
Normalization
PACKAGE IT IN A UNIFORM WAY

Although offers are unique, and have their own names, inclusions, etc., they all get sold and serviced in a similar way. So, once content is all in one place, we make it fit into a standardized process. This enables agents to look at products side by side, and makes them more comparable.

03
Enrichment
ADD CONTEXT
AND USEFUL
INFORMATION

Some legacy technology or new delivery formats (like NDC) strip out useful context and brand information (like images, text, logos, attributes). Once content is standardized, we add it back in, enabling total offer transparency. This helps agents visualize and understand what they’re booking, so customers make the right choices, while allowing supplier brands shine through.

04
Merchandizing
SHOW OFFERS IN A USER-FRIENDLY WAY

Once all the background work is done, we put the offers on the (digital) shelf, displaying them in a way that will help the consumer or agent find, assess, and compare them. We display only the most relevant fares and cut out anything that’s not helpful for agents or customers. This helps create the right trip, manage expectations, and make sure nobody winds up disappointed in their purchase.

Latest Announcements

We've had Eurostar content available to book on Travelport+ for a while, but now you can get access to even more rail neworks in Europe all within the booking flow. Eurostar recently joined forces with Thalys with the aim of transporting 30 million passengers a year by 2030 and becoming the 'backbone of sustainable travel in Europe'. The merger will see them operate, under the Eurostar brand, between Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, Cologne, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen, Liege, Lille, London, Paris and Rotterdam, with more to come.
