Agency consortium TTA Worldchoice has signed a new deal with technology giant Travelport to continue as its global distribution service partner.

The new agreement with Travelport, which operates the Galileo and Worldspan platforms, will include agencies which are members of the Travel Trust Association for the first time. Travelport and Worldchoice have been working together for nine years.

Travelport will now provide GDS content to TTA Worldchoice’s combined membership of nearly 800 agencies.

TTA Worldchoice group commercial director, Steve Clark said: “Travelport’s leading technology and their commitment to helping agents succeed establishes the company as a great partner to work with.  

“This coupled with the positive feedback we have received from our agents influenced our decision to renew and expand our existing agreement with Travelport.”

Jerome Moisan Travelport’s general manager for the UK and Ireland added: “The extension of our existing agreement to include TTA members will open up doors for us.”
