The only platform built for travel agencies

Whether it’s an online travel business, a leisure agency, or a TMC, Travelport+ provides agencies with state-of-the-art tools and advanced workflows to help them become modern retailers. Unlike Amadeus and Sabre, who focus on optimizing supply-side relationships, Travelport is the only technology company that puts agencies first.

AI powered search
NDC is driving an explosion of offers, which sounds like a good thing. But the increase in options is making it harder for agents and travelers to find the right offer, clogging up recommendations and slowing down search speeds.

Travelport’s AI powered search tools — Content Curation Layer and Content Optimizer — simplify the complex world of travel offers and put control back in the hands of the agency.

Advanced agent experience

Consumers don’t want to visit lots of different websites to book their trip. They want one central place to compare options and book everything in one place.

Retailing storefront on Travelport+ allows both consumers and agents to easily search, find, filter, and compare offers across traditional air, NDC, hotel, car and rail. It also allows travelers or agents to add ancillaries like paid seats or extra luggage when they book. And agencies can manage and boost their revenues by highlighting negotiated or preferred rates.

Speed and Performance


Content is king, but increased offers from more sources means search is getting slower and more and more complicated. That’s time added to an agency’s day and extra time a traveler waits for their offer.

Travelport+ prioritizes giving agents more time in their day, with the fastest search speeds at 0.84 seconds.

Better retailing for agencies


Modern retailing with Travelport+ isn’t just good for travel agencies and consumers; it’s also good for suppliers. Because when customers have the best choices across multiple suppliers, products, and ancillaries, they’re likely to find the perfect options — and therefore spend more.

Modern retailing also helps to set the right customer expectations, so they know what they’re buying no matter where they made the booking. That means happy customers boarding the plane, checking into the hotel, or picking up their car rental keys.
