Emerging Travel Group and Travelport Expand Partnership for Simpler Booking Management

Emerging Travel Group, a player in the travel technology sector, is bolstering its flight services through an expanded integration with Travelport. This move is designed to streamline flight booking processes, particularly as the peak tourist season approaches.

Since 2025, the company has been integrating Travelport's offerings, incorporating flight tickets from the platform into RateHawk, a multi-product booking platform for travel professionals, and Roundtrip, a comprehensive solution for business travel. Both platforms now provide travel agents and corporate travel managers access to fares and content from Travelport's GDS system, including NDC content from select airlines.

Fredrik Bonnalt, Emerging Travel Group's director of non-accommodation service delivery, stated that direct access to various airline offers is crucial for travel specialists. It enables them to manage client itineraries and make changes without needing to communicate with external providers, thereby speeding up bookings and customer service. "The enhanced cooperation with Travelport provides our partners with this essential convenience, which is particularly relevant during the peak season," Bonnalt said in a statement.

Travelport's commercial director, Jason Toothman, noted that the expanding collaboration reflects a growing demand for seamless, end-to-end management of flight offerings within a unified process. He highlighted Travelport's TripServices platform as a tool that gives travel professionals quick access to offers, booking, and management capabilities. Toothman also mentioned that this platform supports their recent collaboration with Cognizant and Anthropic, which aims to bring advanced AI capabilities to travel creators' workflows, reducing manual work and enhancing personalized travel experiences.

Emerging Travel Group also plans to obtain IATA accreditation for several legal entities globally, having already secured its first accreditation.
