Fareportal's CheapOair, OneTravel Aggressively Market Superior OTA Solutions to Consumer, Business Travelers
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 16, 2013 -- Fareportal, one of the leading travel industry technology companies, along with its two online travel agency (OTA) subsidiaries, CheapOair.com and OneTravel.com, have launched an aggressive marketing and public relations campaign to more effectively compete with the other OTA leaders.
Fareportal is a premier provider of consumer travel services with multi-channel operations and a high-quality consumer service platform based on privately owned, operated and easy-to-navigate websites, high-touch call centers and compelling travel deals from partner suppliers.
Established in 1994 under the name FareBuzz, Fareportal has since emerged as a travel technology leader, opening new doors in the travel industry. The company is headquartered in New York City with more than 2,000 employees spread across operations in New Delhi, Las Vegas, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and London.
In 2006, the company launched CheapOair to focus on booking affordable air tickets to both domestic and international destinations and rapidly became a force in the online travel agency arena. It has quickly and quietly become the fifth largest OTA with bookings in 2012 behind only Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz and Priceline.
The flagship brand made its way into new international and technological markets in 2011 when it launched CheapOair.ca in Canada, CheapOair.co.uk in the United Kingdom and the CheapOair mobile app.
The websites garner more than 18 million unique visitors and 43 million searches per month, while the CheapOair mobile app has reached 1.5 million downloads to date. The app receives thousands of bookings per week, ranking highest in user satisfaction among its competitors with its user-friendly interface and readily available customer service.
Fareportal launched another subsidiary, OneTravel.com in 2008 to provide a more comprehensive vacation experience including hotels, car rentals, attractions, transfers and insurance, appealing to a wide audience looking for more than just air tickets.
The success of the company is embedded in its proprietary technology created by its own team of software developers with the end result being an intuitive website and mobile user interfaces that make it easy for consumers to search for air tickets or complete vacation packages at top speeds. The company is proud of its repeat business which has topped 40% in 2012.
Longstanding, strong supplier relationships have enabled Fareportal to bring consumers better negotiated fares and special targeted content first, including U.S. Airways Choice Seats, enabling choice seating, meals, and other options when booking.
Fareportal has agreements with over 300 of the industry’s top carriers, consolidators, and wholesalers, as well as more than 25,000 hotel partners offering exclusive deals, major travel insurance providers and car rental agencies. Suppliers are enamored with the websites because of the software which enable disciplined search engine marketing resulting in significant consumer traffic.
While Fareportal’s online channel continues to be its most utilized channel for bookings, the company has seen tremendous growth in the mobile app and also has begun to increase focus on driving telephone bookings. Call centers around the world are owned and operated by the company to maintain quality control which has resulted in outstanding service awards.
Fareportal’s websites and mobile app have been the recipient of nearly twenty awards within both the travel industry and technology world for their fast search times, outstanding service and overall excellence. The Davey Awards, W3 Awards, Sabre Award of Excellence and Magellan Awards are just some of the honors they have received in recent years.
Fareportal is managed by an extremely talented and highly qualified team of professionals, dedicated to providing an unmatched consumer experience.
