Travelport has added an AI-powered “Content Curation Layer” to its Travelport Plus platform that the company said will help agencies more quickly search through content across multiple sources.
The tool uses AI to search trip options across sources including traditional EDIFACT and New Distribution Capability sources as well as low-cost carriers, hotels and car rental suppliers and provide agencies normalized, bookable content on a single screen. Results are returned more quickly than the average airline search, and it can identify the most relevant offers for each traveler, according to Travelport.
“Travelport’s role in the increasingly complex travel industry is to take millions of pieces of disparate information and make it simple for both travel agencies and providers to understand, search, sell and service,” Travelport CEO Greg Webb said in a statement.
The tool uses a new Travelport Plus offering, Content Optimizer, that lets agencies apply their own specific rules to search and results for further optimization, according to Travelport.
