OctopusTravel.com has reportedly become the official global accommodation provider for LAN airlines.
As per the information available, LAN airlines' web customers worldwide (excluding the USA and Canadian markets), can now search for hotel accommodation through an OctopusTravel co-branded link on the airline website www.lan.com.
The partnership with LAN airlines will enable OctopusTravel to increase its presence in South America while the airline will be able to grow revenue by offering customers a one-stop shop for booking travel, it is being said.
Over the past five years, OctopusTravel has developed an in-depth understanding of the airline industry and the requirements and overall strategy of its airline partners. This allows us not only to meet but also to anticipate their needs through a combination of account management expertise, the right technical solutions and expert marketing support, said Max Yousaf, OctopusTravel global head of airline unit.
We are delighted to have now reached this agreement with Octopus which will enable us to continue to improve our direct sales channel and provide our customers with complete travel solutions tailored to their own personal requirements, said Francisco Basoalto, sales and marketing manager, LAN airlines.
