Triton Distribution Systems has entered into an agreement with China International Travel Service to help bolster China's rapidly growing travel industry.

Triton's web-based travel distribution and procurement solutions will enable 70,000 travel agents and tour operators around the world to book and sell complete itineraries within China. With a network of more that 1,400 agents and tour companies nationwide, CITS has hosted more than 10 million international visitors to China.

CITS and its affiliates will use Triton's ReservationExpert to book both international and domestic travel products. With Triton systems CITS agents will be able to create complete overseas itineraries for travelers, including both domestic and foreign segments, from any international airport in China.

According to CITS, the Chinese travel industry is experiencing rapid expansion and has become a key point of growth in the nation's burgeoning economy. The China National Tourism Administration expects 130 million overseas visitors this year, an increase of eight percent over the previous year.
