Travelport celebrates new operations in UAE

The anticipated launch follows Travelport's major investment in a direct GDS support network for the UAE's travel trade, significantly ramping up the company's local resources with new offices in Dubai, and soon Abu Dhabi, to serve the needs of Galileo-connected agents across the country.

Since Travelport GDS opened for direct business at the beginning of the year, an increasing number of travel agencies have either renewed their Galileo subscription or migrated to the booking system, reinforcing the brand's position as the leading GDS in the UAE.

"The significant progress we have made in establishing our market presence in the UAE clearly demonstrates our capabilities as a direct operation for travel agents and the continued strength of the Galileo offering," said Rabih Saab, Vice-President, Travelport GDS Middle East.

Leveraging the company's world-class technology and support, Travelport provides UAE travel agents with the highest level of service and innovation, offering the travel industry's most advanced solutions to help agents provide the best value to their customers.

With more than 20 years experience in the UAE operating the Galileo platform, Travelport GDS remains uniquely positioned to meet the needs of local travel agents, equipped with in-depth product and market knowledge to meet their growing requirements.
