TIAS Signs More Suppliers

1 January, 2005 by Martin Kelly

Avis, NSW Holidays and TravelPoint have joined Australia's TIAS TravelTools booking database, which now features 37 suppliers.

General Manager Sales and Marketing, Gerald Chait, says the number of travel agents using the system had also increased.

"Over the past month we have seen a significant increase in activity and May was a record month for agency subscriptions," he said.

Three new suppliers have also joined the TIAS online payment system, TIAS Tips – Captain Cook Cruises, Spacewalker Gold Coast and Infinity Gold Coast.

Chait said TIAS Tips can now be integrated into a supplier's host booking system.

'REAL TIME - Sydney, March 30'

When: March 30, 2012
Where: Amora Hotel Jamison
Program: Real Time
Bookings: $499 + gst Early Bird

BOOK now to get the Early Bird rate for the No Vacancy accommodation industry conference in Sydney.

Real Time is the theme of No Vacancy 2012, reflecting the fact that we live in a world where everything happens now, or not at all.

In no business is this more obvious than tourism. Booking lead times are now measured in hours not days or weeks.

To succeed requires a new way of doing business, a fresh mentality and a fair amount of nerve.

The program is packed with the information you'll need to thrive in today's just-in-time world with a focus on distribution, marketing, innovation, consumers and technology.

Speakers confirmed so far include the following, and there are a few more on the way...
