Travel agencies utilising the company's W2 ticketing solution
can now benefit from a more efficient, cost-effective payment
solution to book airline tickets across the globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GO7, a travel
technology company dedicated to empowering travel brands, has
partnered with UATP to improve payment options for travel agencies
using its W2 ticketing solution. W2, a key part of GO7's solution
suite, acts as the Airline Distribution provider, helping airlines
generate additional revenue, resulting from global exposure and/or
enhanced physical network. This collaboration allows travel
agencies to easily use W2 e-Payment as a form of payment. W2 by GO7
is your global ticketing partner, providing reliable distribution
& technology solutions and support.
Through the W2-UATP partnership, travel agencies can use
W2 e-Payment as a form of payment for W2 tickets and for all
other UATP Merchant Airlines worldwide in all applicable channels,
ensuring a safe and efficient way to manage travel payments without
hidden fees or currency conversion charges. With W2 e-Payment,
Travel Agencies benefit from the standard reporting available via
W2 and UATP, which complies with industry standards used by many
big volume producers, contributing to fully scalable mid- and
back-office processes for Travel Agencies. Moreover, Travel
Agencies benefit from accelerated refunds.
"We are excited to bring the benefits of our W2 offering to a
wider range of travel agencies worldwide," said Peer Winter, Chief Distribution Officer of GO7.
"As a UATP Issuer, we can tap into UATP's network of Merchants,
offering our travel agency customers more booking and payment
options," Winter continued. "Our partnership with UATP opens doors
to new markets and accelerates our growth objectives, providing a
win-win situation for all parties involved."
The partnership boosts supplier relations by lowering airlines'
overall cost of acceptance and providing access to emerging markets
where other payment options may not be available. In addition,
reconciliation with W2-UATP is agile, safe, and requires less time
to manage.
"The W2-UATP program we have developed with GO7 supports
efficient, low-cost payments to airlines," said Zach Ornelas, SVP of Global Network Sales at
UATP. "The partnership enables airline bookings and payments
through travel agencies that are otherwise challenged to operate
with their existing limited options. With the current challenges in
today's travel environment, this new globally accessible payment
solution is a significant advantage for agents and their customers'
experience."
