Comtec has signed an agreement with Vacation.com, North America’s largest vacation selling network, to evaluate the needs of the Vacation.com member agency network. Comtec is to explore online brand presence for Vacation.com as well as operating systems and back office solutions for the leisure market.

“Together Comtec and Vacation.com plan to map out leisure technology solutions that can best serve our members over the long-term to drive preferred supplier sales and member profitability,” said Steve Tracas, president and chief executive officer, Vacation.com. “We are intrigued by the opportunities presented by Comtec’s proven technology and want to thoroughly evaluate the possibilities that Comtec can provide to our member agencies.”

Vacation.com is a travel services marketing organisation currently serving a network of more than 5,700 travel agency locations across the US and Canada.

“We believe that Comtec is in a superb position to work with Vacation.com to provide first-mover advantage in applying our technology to the needs of the US travel marketplace,” said Simon Powell, chief executive officer, Comtec. “Our continually enhanced core engines - Package Holiday Engine, Flight Engine, Dynamic Package Engine and the Agency Management System Engine can play a core role in delivering the next generation of the Vacation.com travel agents desktop and in implementing Vacation.com’s longer-term business strategy.”
