U.S.-based Amaru and its subsidiary, M2B World Travel, announced the signing of an agreement with one of China's top two travel service providers, a move that will further fortify the offerings of the company's soon-to-be launched broadband travel platform in its position as a global internet travel destination for consumers.
\n<\/p>\n
The agreement was signed with China International Travel Services (CITS, Sichuan Province), a leading provider of agent and booking services within China, and will facilitate the linking of the M2B World Travel platform with the CITS network within the major tourist hubs in China — beginning with Sichuan.<\/p>\n
The CITS network will serve as the on-site customer liaison between localized agents and travelers entering China, as well as providing exclusive Chinese destination information and content to M2B World Travel.<\/p>\n
The M2B broadband travel channel is expected to launch later this year as a leading-edge global travel platform that offers streaming videos of travel-related content together with online travel booking services — with the booking engine backed by an earlier announced global agreement linking the site to the Amadeus Global Distribution System (GDS), considered to be one of the premiere systems in the travel industry.<\/p>\n
The agreement with CITS secures M2B World Travel as the preferred leading online booking engine option for CITS agents in developing travel packages for Chinese customers seeking to travel outside of the region, immediately establishing a base of Chinese customers for the platform.<\/p>\n
Cumulatively, this agreement will further provide both cost competitive travel options for consumers and enhanced package options for travelers into China, as well as for Chinese outbound travelers.<\/p>\n
Beijing-based research firm Analysys International recently estimated that China's online travel market annual growth rate will develop at a rate of 82.2% from 2005 to 2009. With this rapidly expanding market in mind and the securing of the CITS agreement, M2B World Travel has now positioned itself to meet the rising consumer demand both into and out of the region, as well as ease the travel barriers by offering a cache of broadband on-demand content covering the region to educate travelers about the destinations within China and the options and resources available to personalize their journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
