UK’s First Japanese Agency To Adopt Dynamic Packaging
Chooses GoQuo
London, 18 March
2007 - Fast-growing online technology specialist GoQuo Ltd (www.goquo.com)
is supplying its dynamic packaging technology to niche market
leader, the Japan Travel Centre in London (JTC,
www.japantravelcentre.co.uk). It is thought to be the first
Japanese travel agency in the UK to adopt online dynamic
packaging.
GoQuo’s powerful GQDynamic solution is central to JTC’s decision
to align its business model with the strong online presence of
its central London owner, the popular Japan Centre, by
developing a web site with full dynamic packaging capabilities
as an alternative booking channel.
The Japan Centre is a vibrant community-focused centre offering
retail therapy for all Japanese shopping from food, books, info
and travel consultancy. The Centre is visited by up to 35,000
people per week and most of the Centre’s products and services
are also available online.
GoQuo will fully customise its GQDynamic solution to JTC’s
current needs and system, including connectivity to GDS Amadeus.
The solution will enable web site visitors to research and book
flights, hotels and car hire from JTC’s own extensive inventory
sourced from Amadeus and other suppliers. The new site is
expected to go live in March.
JTC managing director Roberta Scrace commented: “I was very
impressed by GoQuo MD Ron Ramanan’s vision for online travel,
and how GoQuo could help provide fast, robust and secure online
booking capabilities, using real-time dynamic packaging. I’m
expecting the new site to add at least 10% more revenue annually
for JTC.”
Explaining that she saw two other technology providers but was
dissuaded by their cost and relative technology inflexibility,
she said that GoQuo’s forward-thinking and flexibility for
providing the solution that JTC believed it needed as another
sales channel were ‘convincing’. “It’s all about planning for
the future,” stated Scrace, “which will include educating our
Japanese customers about using online travel, an activity where
Europeans are far more comfortable and confident.”
GoQuo’s Ramanan added: “JTC’s decision to embrace the internet
fully as a sales channel is to be applauded, and we at GoQuo are
delighted to be part of this important initiative. Traveller
numbers to and from Japan are rising fast, and Japan Travel
Centre’s imminent ability to sell a wide range of travel
products online is bound to enhance its business.”
