Abacus International announced the launch of a one-stop online portal Abacus VirtuallyThere for mobile services, which delivers real-time, personalised itineraries and travel information to travellers at any time or location.
Brett Henry, Vice President, Agency Marketing for Abacus International, said the company had extended the tried and true concept of Abacus VirtuallyThere to meet the needs of the growing ranks of travellers on the move with a wide array of communication devices and hungry for updated travel information.
“With Abacus VirtuallyThere, they can now access the latest travel information while on the move, managing their time and itinerary more effectively, essential factors in the corporate travel market where we expect this service to be particularly popular,” Mr Henry said.
“Abacus is committed to developing Asia’s travel sector as we develop and improve our solutions to add value to the industry. Abacus VirtuallyThere allows our more than 15,000 travel agency locations to keep their brand in front of travellers and enrich their customer relationships while the traveller is actually on the move; it also demonstrates Abacus’ understanding of the needs of travel agents and the current trends and lifestyles of travellers,” said Mr Henry.
According to the company, Abacus VirtuallyThere enables travellers to receive flight notification alerts for flight delays or cancellation and any airport terminal or gate changes. In addition, U.S. bound travellers can check Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security wait times by airport location, enabling them to plan ahead for possible delays.
“The Abacus VirtuallyThere is an indispensable travel companion, providing travellers with key travel information and resources at their fingertips while they are on the move. With complete end-to-end travel solutions, such as the Abacus VirtuallyThere, Abacus continues to fulfil our role as a market leader in the region, helping travel agents create value for their customers and grow their loyalty,” Mr Henry said.
