Globus is now available via Softvoyage platforms
Softvoyage now offers their customers, the Globus family of brands.


Toronto – May 27, 2009
Softvoyage Inc., an international leader in distribution and management solutions for travel agencies, tour operators and travel suppliers is proud to announce that it now offers the Globus family of brands in all Softvoyage’s powered Business to Business sites and as well as in the very near future, via all Business to Consumer sites.

Stéphanie Bishop, Managing Director for Globus family of brands states, “As tour operator of choice in our market segments, we continually strive to be innovative – especially as it relates to the tools we provide our travel partners. To this end, we are thrilled to provide additional technology that affords them with further ease in booking and accessing our products. In launching with Softvoyage, we will start with select product and gradually roll-out our entire portfolio of programs. As such, for this first launch we will start with Globus Europe, North America and the exotics, as well as all Monograms product (pre-packaged independent travel). Coming soon after this initial launch will be Avalon Waterways river cruising product and then we’ll continue to add so that our complete product portfolio can be accessed.”

Dan Langevin, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, explains “Entering this market segment is new to Softvoyage. Until recently, the general consensus was that tour and river cruise products still had to be sold via the call centres because of their complexity; however, the reality is that travel agents have been selling the Globus family of brands for years and based on discussions we have been having with our customers, the time is now for agents to enhance their access of buying Globus products electronically. Working together, we bring rich content, providing agents with the right tools to become more efficient at selling these lucrative packages. It brings efficiencies to both, the travel agent selling the product and of course, for Globus adding efficiencies within operations. For the Globus family of brands, this is a worldwide “first” to sell via a third party and we are very proud to have been chosen as the company to enter this new era”.
