Travelport, the business services provider to the global travel industry, operating both the Galileo and Worldspan Global Distribution Systems (GDS), has launched a new one stop leisure portal for travel agents known as Travelport Leisure. The new travel trade portal is an upgraded version of its former Galileo Leisure portal which was first launched in 2005. The GDS provider took the decision to invest further in its Galileo Leisure offering in response to the ongoing growth potential of global leisure travel spend which is expected to reach around USD 700 billion by 2014.
The Travelport Leisure portal, now includes extensive new hotel, hostel, B&B and car options, as well as new functionality to add localised content at a country level. Like its predecessor, it will continue to be free of charge to use for all travel agents, even if they do not subscribe to Travelport GDS.
