Traveldoo is the first to offer businesses the ability to book online leisure rail fares from the SNCF and Eurostar, Youth fares and Travelcard fares on Thalys and Lyria TGVs.
Paris, France, 24 November, 2004 – Traveldoo, the European software provider for online travel spend management, announces the enrichment of its existing online European rail reservation service with low fares and more travelcard fares for frequent travellers.
Two years ago, Traveldoo’s customers were the first to benefit from online reservation of SNCF, Eurostar and Thalys tickets. Today, through Traveldoo’s online solutions they can take advantage of the largest available range of French and international rail fares. It includes: ‘Découverte’ (-25%) fares; fares associated with 12-25 and Escapade travelcards; Eurostar leisure fares; Thalys Youth fares; and fares on TGVs to Switzerland (Lyria and Paris-Geneva-Méditérranée). Thalys frequent travellers will also benefit from Lys travelcards and Cybelys cards, the Thalys loyalty program.
Because of rail market share in France and on some of the highest-traffic routes in Europe, Traveldoo clients can expect to save even more . In France, rail travel accounts for almost 20% of corporate travel spend and on international routes such as Paris – London and Paris – Brussels, rail market share is over 60%. For business travellers, it results in products and fares better suited to their profile and needs.
As for the previous release of SNCF, Thalys and Eurostar integration, Traveldoo is the first partner to get SNCF’s certification for the integration of new generation Web Services ‘Riva 2’ . SNCF mandatory certification demonstrates the ability of technology partners to effectively deliver rail reservation capabilities to companies.
This enriched rail booking service is now available to large organisations through Traveldoo Enterprise™ and to small and mid-sized companies through online travel agencies using Traveldoo Portal ™.
