Travelocity ties up deal with Radius

Agreement extends reach to 80 countries

Travelocity Business has signed a deal with Radius Travel that will extend the online agency's reach into 80 countries.

Radius is a global network of 90 travel agencies with combined sales of $20bn.

Travelocity, part of Sabre Holdings Corporation, said the partnership with Radius enabled its clients to access "experienced, professional service on any continent."

Lesley Harris, Travelocity's president, said: "Corporations are increasingly upfront about their intentions to grow business in all corners of the globe, and comprehensive travel programs are needed to ensure that rate, service and security requirements are met wherever the traveler may be going.

"Our new relationship with Radius answers a need for both clients and prospects by efficiently tying into an impressive collection of regional travel management companies that understand the requirements of today's business travellers."
