Expedia Affiliate Network, the personal label arm of the world’s largest online travel company, today announces a longer partnership with Air Tahiti Nui, one of the crucial South Pacific’s leading international airlines.
The carrier offers daily non-stop service from La International Airport to Tahiti and Paris.
The deal will see ATN use the most recent version of EAN’s hotel retailing platform, Chameleon, to present the absolute best range of accommodation to customers booking travel both inbound to and outbound from the Pacific islands.
The partnership builds at the existing relationship between EAN and ATN, and sees the airline expanding its hotel offering to all points of sale, with key markets including France, Japan, New Zealand and Australia, as well as america and Canada.
As well as providing access to approximately 160,000 hotels worldwide, EAN’s Chameleon platform may help ATN to present an enhanced user experience, including targeted offers on hotel and flight purchases.
For example, from today until March 31st, ATN is offering a 10 percent discount across all hotel accommodation purchased through its websites.
The partnership also allows travellers to profit from phone support for sales and inquiries, in addition to user-generated content from TripAdvisor, a good way to use others’ experiences to tell their booking decisions.
Etienne Howan, chief executive of Air Tahiti Nui commented: “Our extended partnership with EAN considerably strengthens our distribution strategy, adding to our direct sales platform.
“We’re confident the deal can assist us towards our goal of improving our customer support and making travel easier, if you want to entice more travellers from world wide to enjoy Tahiti and the South Pacific.”
