TRAVEL consultants can now sell theatre, attraction and sightseeing products as part of their programmes thanks to a new plugin accessible via the Travelport Smartpoint platform.
The Ingresso Entertainment Tickets plugin, free to download from the Travelport Marketplace, allows travel consultants to find and sell tickets to their customers, representing a new channel of revenue for travel consultants who are on the Travelport platform.
Furthermore, the plugin allows travel consultants to set their own pricing and commission levels with no invoicing required, choose from best ticket prices across a range of international events, search by airport code or general terms like “New York tours”, and fully integrate purchased tickets into passenger name records and back-office systems. Immediate email confirmation is also guaranteed.
Pieter van der Voort, director partnership and alliances, Travelport, said: “The plugin offers a real cross-sell opportunity and travel consultants can set the price and choose the commission they charge in order to boost revenue. This latest announcement is part of Travelport’s strategy to invest in developing new technologies and ideas, all on an open platform that delivers expansive content and improves customer service.”
