A trusted travel management company or travel agency will play an increasingly vital role as travel gathers momentum. The traveller is looking for a partner who is there with them both online and offline, ensuring they get the most out of their leisure or business trip, the best price with the latest information. It is this need for a traveller-centric approach that sits at the heart of the new global partnership between Lufthansa City Center International and travel technology specialist Snowstorm Technologies.

The Snowstorm OneWurld Desktop product provides international LCC members (outside Germany) with a single user interface, connecting a huge bookable database of product that the modern travel professional requires from air, hotel, cruise, car and tours to activities. Aggregated from multiple sources, including GDS, NDC, low cost carriers, bed banks, OTAs and direct connect APIs. All personalised to the agency, the integrated travel retailing solution, allows for individual margin management, plus it provides a full business intelligence and reporting suite to understand what the key profit drivers are.

This simple user experience for an agent is then replicated for the corporate traveller through the OneCorporate self-booking tool or on the leisure agencies own website. But the huge product breadth and seamless interaction is only half the story, the core functionality is the OneWurld collaboration tool, creating an interaction between the agent and customer at every stage of the search, booking and travel cycle – complete trip management.

Commenting on the new partnership for their 225 agencies across 84 countries (outside Germany), Martina Groenegres, Managing Director of Lufthansa City Center International said, “We are very excited about this partnership with Snowstorm and their leading-edge travel technology. The TMC and travel agent product knowledge is incredible and this now requires an understanding of the ever changing new protocols introduced as a result of Covid-19. The OneWurld and OnePromote products now unite this expertise with an incredible platform and an unbeatable range of products, whilst creating a unique collaboration between the customer and the agent, to ensure a smooth trip every time.”

“We are driven by our vision to provide the TMC and travel agency community with a simple to use, collaborative and innovative booking technology, to help them flourish in the market. The place of an agent in the purchasing chain is more important than ever and we are delighted that Lufthansa City Center are the latest in a growing list of industry leading networks to recognise the power of our platform and adopt it for their members globally.” said Riaz Pisani, Chief Strategy Officer of OneWurld.
