Telewest Travel, the leading supplier of broadband communications to the travel industry, has announced the latest content addition to its market leading Endeavour portal, AFerry.to. AFerry.to has been developed in partnership with leading ferry reservation specialists, Entee Global Services.
Agents using Endeavour now have immediate access to real-time booking information for a number of major ferry operators. 20 Operators are currently live on the system, including P&O Group, Stena Line and Pentland Ferries in the UK. Agents will be able to select destinations, choose routes, dates and sailing times.
Agents can access AFerry.to simply by clicking the Ferry Booking icon on their Endeavour portal. A particular bonus of the service is that special offers from a number of ferry operators are available exclusively on AFerry.to, which agents and customers booking through Endeavour will have access to.
Nick Rowley, Commercial Director, Entee Global Services said: "We are delighted to enter into this joint venture with Telewest Travel. Together we will provide a higher level of functionality and a great new product to all agents using Endeavour. With Telewest Travel, we will also be able to offer agents the ability to have ferry booking engines embedded into their own websites."
Chris Juden, Product Manager of Travel Applications, Telewest Travel, said: Endeavour is designed to provide agents with access to comprehensive travel booking and information services and the addition of AFerry.to complements the existing portfolio.
