Dubai-based solutions firm creates unique identity for Aussie inbound specialist.
Illusions Online has signed a
deal with Australian inbound
tour operator Lawand Tourism,
which will see the Dubai based
technology specialist
provide the travel firm with
a complete seamless front and
back-office system.
The booking engine Illusions
has created for Lawand,
an operator that has its own
permanent regional marketing
and support office in
Dubai and a marketing liaison
office in Riyadh, has
its own “unique identity”
according to Illusions Online
CEO Faisal Memon.
“There are so many DMCs using Illusions that we need
to make sure that each solution
we provide is different,”
he explained. “What we
have done is create a unique
identity [for Lawand] in
terms of the colours,
the themes and the
brand. We have done
something similar
for [UAE DMC)
SNTTA.” Memon
continued: “We
are taking the
systems of
these operators
to the next level
with XML.”
He explained
that this involved
seamlessly linking DMCs to their clients so that
all booking systems were in
sync through interfacing.
Lawand Tourism’s solution,
he added, also included
crucial elements such as
product management and
pricing, in addition to the
booking tools.
“They have also gone for
B2C, as well as B2B solutions,”
Memon said.
The roll out of the Illusions
system will be completed
in phases, starting with the
back office system to include
product loading that is based
in Bangalore, India.
Once up-and-running, it
will be pitched to individual
agents within the Gulf who wish to interface their booking
systems with Lawand.
In other Illusions news, the
firm won the coveted World’s
Leading Travel Technology
Provider accolade at the
World Travel Awards in London
on November 8.
Memon said he wasn’t
surprised to win the award,
which is usually given to one
of the four GDS providers.
“The GDS aren’t doing anything
new at the moment and
there is no one else,” he said.
The firm has also revealed
that Al Rais Travel has finally
gone live with its GTA interface
so all of the wholesaler’s
inventory is now available to
Al Rais travel consultants.
