Travelport, the business services provider to the global travel industry and TIX, a leading online travel agent (OTA) in The Netherlands, have today announced a new multi-year international travel content and technology agreement.
TIX is a relatively new OTA, operating since June 2010, but
has grown rapidly and is on target to reach a 100 million
euro turnover in 2012.
"We have been experiencing strong growth and have chosen
Travelport as the best partner to help us continue that
growth and achieve our expansion plans in the Netherlands,
Germany, Spain, Poland, France and United Kingdom",
commented Bjorn de Jager, CEO of TIX. "As part of our
selection process we carried out a number of tests and
found Travelport's fare shopping, through their e-Pricing
product, was second to none."
Marco Van Ieperen, General Manager for Travelport Benelux
added "We are delighted to be in a position to offer such
an industry leading solution for our OTA customers. TIX
have built a strong customer base and we are very much
looking forward to being their partner as they continue to
