MANAMA: More than a 1,000 visitors ranging from small to mid-level agencies including existing customers, visited Kanoo Travel’s booth in the 2018 Arabian Travel Market (ATM) in Dubai.
A fully-owned division of Yusuf bin Ahmed Kanoo Group (YBA Kanoo), Kanoo Travel has an 81-year-long history in the travel industry with offices in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, Egypt and the UK.
It is also the sole local representative of American Express Global Business Travel, one of the largest travel management companies globally.
Krystal Online, a new cloud-based travel technology owned and distributed by Kanoo Travel, played a pivotal role in attracting the large number of visitors to the Kanoo booth in ATM.
“Being in the 2018 Arabian Travel Market was an opportunity to strengthen relationships with our clients and inform them about our latest technology, Krystal Online, which received a lot of attention from many travel agencies,” said YBA Kanoo Group director Nabeel Kanoo.
The new technology allows travel agents to search and book from multiple global suppliers, more than 500,000 hotels and car rentals worldwide, with dynamic content such as maps, photos and videos through its travel affiliate network programme.
Kanoo Travel interim executive general manager Zaeem Gama said during the four-day event, executives from Sabre, Amadeus, American Express, Emirates, Etihad and Oman Air were introduced to Krystal online.
“We received a lot of positive feedback regarding the new technology and discussed several partnership proposals,” added Mr Gama.
The 2018 ATM also saw the signing of a strategic agreement between Kanoo Travel and Kalaam Telecom to enhance the service excellence of call centre hubs.
