Introducing Travel Holdings, Inc.

Orlando, November 2004 - Travel Holdings, Inc. is where the world shops for travel. It is the only on-demand, worldwide, multi-channel travel distribution network. With a combined 20 years in travel distribution and service to the world tourism market, Travel Holdings was formed by uniting the consumer market penetration of LastMinuteTravel.com with the wholesale clout of Tourico Holidays and the empowering technology of Travel Global Systems (TGS).

“The new company is truly one of the most innovative and diverse travel distribution companies in the world”, said Alan Greenberg, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Travel Holdings. “Travel Holdings creates incremental revenue for the entire online travel sector - retail, wholesale, group, travel agent, corporate and affiliate while providing a seamless, swift and a reliable interface in the global marketplace for hotel rooms, airline tickets, rental cars, cruises and vacation packages. It is the only global travel company of its kind,” added Greenberg.

The business objective of Travel Holdings is to offer multiple distribution channels to travel suppliers that focus on year-round global and incremental revenues that the supplier would not effectively be able to procure on his own. At the same time, Travel Holdings delivers consumers an incomparable price-value relationship.

Headquartered in Orlando and with technology operations in Tel Aviv, Travel Holdings serves customers in 122 countries. By supplying proprietary global travel inventory and technology at highly competitive pricing, Travel Holdings integrates with every segment of the travel industry including retail, wholesale, group, travel agents, corporate and affiliates.
