DERTOUR Group, one of Europe’s leading travel companies, has partnered with international travel technology provider Travel Compositor to expand its personalised travel offerings and simplify the creation and booking of complex, tailor-made holiday packages.
The collaboration will support DERTOUR Group’s ‘Home of
Holidays’ strategy, which aims to provide customers with travel options suited
to a wide range of holiday preferences. The technology will enable the company
to combine multiple travel components into individual itineraries with
real-time booking capabilities.
Travel Compositor, part of Travelsoft, specialises in
technology for creating, booking and distributing complex travel products. Its
platform allows flights, accommodation, transfers, activities, train journeys,
rental cars, cruises and tours to be combined within a single itinerary and
booking process.
Boris Raoul, Chief Technology Officer of DERTOUR Group,
said: “At DERTOUR Group, our ambition is to offer the right trip for every
holiday wish. To achieve this, we need technology that makes complex and highly
individual travel easy to create, distribute and book. Travel Compositor helps
us bring together innovative technology and our deep tourism expertise,
enabling us to offer more personalised travel experiences while making
specialist products and local expertise accessible across markets. This is an important
step in further strengthening our Home of Holidays ambition,”
Pilot programme underway in Germany
The partnership is being introduced through DERTOUR Group’s
‘Tech & Touch’ approach, which combines digital technology with the
personal expertise and service of travel professionals.
Travel Compositor is currently being piloted across
DERTOUR-owned travel agencies in Germany, where the first live bookings have
already been completed. Feedback from these bookings is being used to improve
the platform and enhance the overall customer experience.
Selected round-trip packages have also been made available
on the DERTOUR website as part of the pilot programme, allowing the group to
assess the technology across both online and in-person booking channels.
The initial testing phase is intended to provide practical
insights into consultation and booking processes before a broader rollout
across Germany, Switzerland and additional markets.
Technology to support complex travel itineraries
Travel Compositor will complement DERTOUR Group’s existing
technology systems, particularly in areas requiring greater flexibility to
develop modular and highly customised travel products.
The platform is designed to make complex journeys easier to
configure and book, while helping travel specialists distribute destination
knowledge and customised packages across international markets.
Gonzalo Salvador, Co-Managing Director of Travel Compositor,
said: “Over the past twelve years, we have built a platform for tailor-made
travel across multiple products and destinations. We are proud to support
DERTOUR Group in further developing personalised travel in Europe and beyond,”
Miguel Ángel Garoz, Co-Managing Director of Travel
Compositor, added: “Our collaboration underlines the growing importance of
modern travel technology in producing and distributing complex journeys at
scale. As part of Travelsoft, we will work alongside DERTOUR Group as it
extends the solution to more agencies and markets,”
The partnership reflects the growing role of travel technology in enabling operators to deliver more flexible, personalised holiday experiences while making complex travel arrangements easier to manage and distribute. -TradeArabia News Service
