Travelport, one of the world’s leading global distribution system (GDS) providers, recently held its annual distributor’s conference in Lebanon, where the company shared its vision and upcoming plans with its distribution partners from across the Middle East.
Held against the idyllic backdrop of the Faraya Mountains, the three-day gathering was a key platform for the GDS provider to share valuable industry knowledge and best practices with its distributors and operators, who form an important part of the company’s network in the region.
“Our annual distributors’ conference is a great opportunity for us to solidify the already robust distribution network that we have in place across the Middle East,” said Jennifer D’Souza, regional commercial director, Travelport. “With the strong local expertise and on-the-ground support of our valued distribution partners, we remain firmly positioned to serve the needs of travel agencies across the region.”
Awards were also handed out at the gathering to recognise the achievements of several distributors including Galileo Yemen, Kuwait, Oman and Syria. Special recognition was given to Galileo Pakistan, which was given an award for its remarkable volunteer effort last year during the country’s Swat Valley conflict.
