A US-based travel agency named Forest Travel and Yapta, a price tracking service for both flights and hotels have announced a partnership in business on April 10 (Wednesday) that is to aid a number of small and mid-sized businesses which work with the Forest Travel.
Forest travel works for both small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to get from airline tickets, hotels and rental cars, to private jets, trains, cruises and worldwide luxury resorts and for individual customers. The travel agency also arranges for Travel Risk Management, Travel Policy Compliance, Expense Automation and Dedicated Account Management among others things for its clients. The agency is already associated with the best of travel technology leaders from the industry and now it has partnered with Yapta that will surely provide it with more leverage to grow as a travel partner.
There is a lot of scope for SMBs to get their hotel and airfare dealings for business travel at really affordable prices, according to the Chief Revenue officer at Yapta, Michael Smith.
In return, Yapta also sees value in relations with the Forest Travel as the travel agency share a connection with the Virgin Galactic, which is a pioneer in commercial space traveling. Flight durations of 10-15 hours can be brought down to 40 minutes when it’s a rocket transport service as per media reports. Yapta will do well to be associated with something like Virgin Galactic will change the world of travel industry altogether, believed Smith.
