Travelport Inc, a business services provider to the global travel industry, has announced that it has launched a new mobile application for Italian youth.
The company said that its mobile app has been developed for CTS Viaggi, the Italian member of the WYSET (World Youth Student and Educational Travel) Confederation. Called CTS Mobile, the app may be used by those that have Apple and Android products. It is available for download from Google Play and the Apple App Store.
The company said that the new product allows travellers to search for flights and hotels using maps. Search results may be filtered by price or proximity. Once the traveller has identified a flight or hotel, he or she can immediately book the same through a credit-card transaction. The development of CTS Mobile is part of an ongoing cooperation between Travelport and CTS Viaggi to provide youth travel services across all the latest platforms and devices.
Damiano Sabatino, Travelport’s general manager for Southern Europe, said, ‘We hear almost daily how important smartphones are and their impact on everyday life in Italy, and we also know how important this channel is for travel. At Travelport we are delighted to be bringing innovative mobile solutions to our customers and the travelling public.’
Travelport, a provider of critical transaction processing solutions, has a presence in 170 countries and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. CTS Viaggi is a tour operator that seeks to promote the organisation and distribution of quality tourism services for its 215,000 cardholders.
