GOQUO SIGNS MALAYSIA’S BIGGEST TRAVEL MANAGEMENT COMPANY
London, 06
November 2006 – Fast-growing online technology solutions provider
GoQuo Ltd (www.goquo.com) today announced that it has won the
lucrative account for Holiday Tours & Travel Sdn Bhd, Malaysia’s
largest travel management company (www.holidaytours.com.my),
with the support of Abacus, Asian GDS leader. The win comes just
weeks after GoQuo opened a new office in Kuala Lumpur.
Founded in
1972, Holiday Tours & Travel today leads Malayasia’s corporate
travel market, and is increasing its share in the leisure travel
sector, offering full agency services, such as flights, hotels,
car rental, coaches, cruises, tours and insurance, for inbound
and outbound travellers, whether business, leisure, incentive or
group.
It will
deploy GoQuo’s robust, value-for-money GQDynamic solution which
will be fully customised to Holiday Tours’ business
requirements. This deal further solidifies GoQuo’s footing in
the Asian market, and adds Malaysia to a growing list of Asian
countries where GoQuo’s products are currently being used, such
as India and Singapore.
GoQuo
established its Kuala Lumpur office in response to a growing
number of travel trade enquiries from China, Thailand,
Singapore, the Philippines, Japan, India and Malaysia. It is a
fully registered company which is in the process of applying for
Malaysian government MSC* approval to expand its technology
offering through research and development investment,
GoQuo see the new office as a vital foothold in the region which
will help it penetrate further into the vast Asian, East Asian
and South-east Asian travel technology markets. Malaysia is
regarded as a strategic location as the Asian region is one of
the fastest-growing travel markets in the world for both inbound
and outbound travellers.
Ron
Ramanan, GoQuo founder and managing director, commented: “This
deal with one of the country’s biggest travel businesses is a
massive vote of confidence in GoQuo. Our name and solution
offering, based on competitive pricing, superior robust online
technology and customisation to customer needs, will be noted in
the region’s travel industry and I’m confident that we will be
signing more trade partners in the region soon.”
Pink Kee
Chong,
IT manager of Holiday Tours & Travel said: “We chose GoQuo
because they offered us complete flexibility, ranging from a
simple electronic booking solution to a complete customisable
solution. GoQuo also offered a complete portfolio of what we
wanted, coupled with a reasonable initial setup cost.”
