Travel agents across Poland are the first in the world to benefit from a new interactive reward scheme being piloted by Travelport.
Agents need to register online for the new ‘Travelport Points’ scheme – earning points every time they make a GDS booking. These points can then be exchanged for a wide choice of consumer goods such as iPods and perfume via the dedicated ‘Travelport Points’ website.
The scheme is open to all travel agents who subscribe to one of Travelport’s GDS platforms.
Following the successful pilot in Poland, Travelport now plans to roll out its Travelport Points programme to other countries in Europe over the coming months.
