Multicom strikes deal with alpharooms.com
Travel technology specialist Multicom has signed a deal with apharooms.com to provide an online budget flight booking facility.
Multicom will provide the former accommodation-only site with access to its FindandBook GDS service, enabling flights to be booked to destinations across the globe with low cost carriers.
The new facility means that agents and consumers can now build bespoke packages with accommodation, flights, transfers, car hire and insurance via the alpharooms.com website in addition to booking flight and accommodation only.
Chris Nourse, Multicom’s general manager, said: “For a decade alpharooms.com has been one of the leading providers of discount accommodation in the industry and we are proud to be part of its expansion into flight bookings.
“Our GDS will reliably handle huge numbers of searches and bookings via its site with the speed and simplicity that alpharooms.com customers are accustomed to.”
Gareth Hockey, alpharooms.com’s online marketing manager, added: “Our customers expect a certain level of value and service and it was vital for us to find a budget flight provider that we would rely on to provide that.
“The addition of a flight booking facility to our website means that agents and consumers can now book all of their holiday requirements via one easy to use website.”
Multicom powers millions of searches and bookings for the full range of travel content, whether booked online or via High Street agents, through its leisure GDS, FindandBook.
