Travelport, a leading Travel Commerce Platform providing distribution, technology, payment and other solutions for the global travel industry, announced the creation of a new organization, Travelport Digital, as part of its strategic focus on the fast-growing digital economy. At the same time Travelport has appointed a Chief Customer and Marketing Officer, a newly created role that will further heighten Travelport’s focus on delivering a marketing leading customer experience.
The new Travelport Digital organization will optimise the investments that Travelport has made into various digital assets and products over the past couple of years with the aim of growing Travelport’s range of digital services. The formation of the function builds on Travelport’s acquisition last year of MTT, the leading provider of mobile and digital solutions to the travel industry, as well as its investment in Locomote, a corporate travel management system. Bryan Conway, a seasoned Travelport executive has been appointed Head of Travelport Digital.
