In today’s
increasingly fast-paced and interconnected world, with clients expecting access to
information and solutions on an on-demand basis, travel advisors’ reliance on technology
has never been greater.
Which is why, at
the 10th annual Travvy Awards Gala, held on November 7, 2024, we
felt it important to honor the technology providers that make life easier and client
bookings more streamlined for the travel advisor community.
There are multiple
online distribution platforms for industry professionals that supply one-stop solutions
for advisors, helping them to streamline the research and booking processes, as
well as efficiently manage client reservations.
This year, the
Gold Travvy for ‘Best Travel Technology Provider’ once again went to VAX
VacationAccess, while Sabre took home the Silver award and Amadeus walked away
with Bronze.
Some of the
hallmarks of great travel
technology today include access to many well-known travel
suppliers—airlines, cruise lines, hotel companies, tour operators, car rental
companies, etc.—along with a user-friendly interface and navigable tools for
searches, comparisons and bookings.
The ability to tailor vacation packages to
suit individual clients’ needs and preferences, from flight specifics to accommodation
types to selected activities, is also what makes these platforms indispensable.
Advisors also rely on these distribution systems to provide real-time product
inventory, pricing and promotions to help them customize their clients’ perfect
trips while providing the best possible value.
Other essential attributes of
such platforms have come to include access to marketing tools and other sales resources,
comprehensive training and educational support, and data insights and analytics
functions.
