December 17th, 2015 – AIAV, the Association of Italian Travel Agents is ready to launch “Qualitalytravel”, the first website dedicated to the open incoming of travel agents, specialized in the promotion of the territory and the sale of packages representing excellences of a specific geographic area. The portal – translated into 7 languages – will open sales on January 3 and on January 28 will be officially presented at the Board of the UFTAA – Universal Federation of Travel Agents Association in Delhi, India. On that occasion, the presidents of the various national associations will verify the validity of the project and of the technological platform, both created to allow travel agents to get in touch with their colleagues from around the world and offer a product made with care by experts of the territory and sold online in an easy and fast manner. AIAV and UFTAA are ready to give agencies around the world the opportunity to use the same platform and the same channels of trade for the promotion and sale of their products, thus creating a global network of agencies. A hundred agencies have already put forth their exclusive theme packages to help users discover the infinite beauty and traditions of Italy. As we speak, partner agencies are being distributed the “DMC Manager”, an IT tool with which agencies can independently access the administration portal to upload new packages, edit texts, prices and availability, change the photo gallery and make other useful changes to their contents. In addition, the agencies will also be able to “accredit” new service providers from their territory (car hires, companies for transfers, partner restaurants, hotels, b&bs, hostels and holiday-apartments). The main partners of the project include the UFTAA, Mind Cube, PosizionamentoWeb and Alitalia. (Red)
