Abacus meets agents’ demand for value travel
Accessed by more than 20,000 travel agents across the Asia Pacific, Abacus SmartPrice now offers access to more than five million origin and destination net fares.
The volume of net fares available has risen by 30% year on year as 900 airlines and wholesaler react to travel agents demand for low cost travel content. Abacus VP Marketing and VP India Brett Henry credits the sharp increase in content to Abacus’ on-going commitment to agents, who in turn can provide the best available fares to travellers.
Henry said; “Net fares are playing an increasingly important role in the Asia Pacific travel landscape, and this is evidenced by a high penetration rate of net fares content of up to 60% in some markets. Abacus SmartPrice integrates all published, corporate and net fare content into a single workspace screen to ensure agents have quick and easy access to the most cost-effective fares for the traveller.”
