Informed Travel Choice

An ever evolving landscape


The travel industry is on a journey, moving further and faster than ever before. The landscape around it
changes every day: technology is continually evolving and converging; globalization is erasing borders;
consumers are more knowledgeable; and applications are increasingly mobile.
To compete and prosper, businesses must embrace change. Travelport is spearheading this change
by delivering innovation and technology solutions that will empower all travel businesses, now and
on the journey ahead.

Our aim is to free travel providers and agents to sell how they want to sell, and users to buy how they
want to buy. Central to enabling this freedom are four key pillars of focus and investment: providing
access to Unrivalled Travel Content from any source; delivering Intelligent Search with accuracy,
relevancy and speed; enhancing your business through an Empowered Selling Experience; and
allowing fully flexible access to content and services via our Open Platform.

WHO is the traveler?


Changing demographics across the globe will continue to significantly
impact the industry: more people equals more travelers. Much of the rapid
growth in population is coming from India and China with far-reaching
implications for travel over the next few years. Furthermore, travelers are
better informed and want experiences worth talking about; this means new,
more adventurous destinations and activities.
HOW is technology
changing travel?
The Internet has changed the role of the consumer, creating
more knowledgeable and demanding buyers in their search
for choice and value. But its not just what theyre booking, its
how. The proliferation of the mobile web means search and
booking are increasingly done on the move. The full potential
