Focus Travel Partnership has signed a strategic partnership with digital technology rail provider, International Rail.
International Rail will be the preferred global rail tech provider for Focus Travel Partnership, giving its 53 TMC members access to “straightforward and comprehensive” global rail bookings via its 1track platform.
Providing tickets for over 66,000 point-to-point routes in Europe, including domestic UK train travel, plus extensive coverage of rail routes across North America, Japan, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Tony Edge, Focus Travel Partnership Business Solutions Manager, said: “Through International Rail all Focus TMC Partners can now offer a cost-effective, low time-consuming solution to their clients in an area that has always been known as a challenge for TMCs.
“Through the extensive content available, our Partners can now grow their rail offering overseas as well as being able to offer a more sustainable alternative to domestic flights internationally. After impressing both the Rail Steering Group and Focus Innovation Group we felt International Rail was the right fit for our Partnership in line with our overall strategy.”
Caitlin Cornish, Commercial Director of International Rail said: “Sharing insights, ideas and feedback will provide the best possible experience for TMCs, tour operators, travel agents and their travellers, and the industry as a whole.”
