CWT Launches Online Booking Tool for China-Based Int. Travelers

Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT) has launched an online booking tool - CWT Online, which is designed to make booking international travel easier for China-based business travelers.

CWT Online is powered by TravelSky, a provider of information technology and commercial services to China’s air travel and tourism industry.

CWT Online gives travelers access to real time international air bookings, including market fares, client corporate fares and specific airline promotional fares. It allows travelers to carry out searches by airline, type of ticket (one way or round trip) and by price. Each quote generated includes lowest fare, corporate fare, itinerary and link to service team information.

Available in Chinese and English, CWT Online also incorporates travel policy information.

Albert Zhong, general manager CWT China said, “Business travel is continuing to grow and currently Beijing Capital International is the second busiest airport in the world. With the continued growth of air traffic in China, providing our clients with this type of tool and giving them easy access to international online booking facilities sets us apart from the rest ... Clients can reduce their average ticket price, increase policy compliance, and reduce transaction costs and the internal cost of processing travel. The simplicity of CWT Online really encourages travelers to adopt self-booking.”

CWT Online is a further extension to CWT’s existing online booking tool for domestic travel in China which has been available since 2007.
