Global travel distributor GTA is urging travel agents around the world to inspire clients – the travelling public

during one of the busiest times of the year and fantastic rates for premium room categories, to help put the
best hotel stays within the reach of any traveller’s budget.

will raise awareness among the world’s travel trade.
Martin Jones, Senior Vice President for Global Sourcing and Commercial Management at GTA says: “Over
four decades, GTA has been finding accommodation that travellers want to enjoy in the destinations they
want to visit. Hotels know they can rely on us to bring them business from established and growing markets
and so are willing to give us great deals at one of the busiest times of their year.”
GTA has used its long-standing relationships with the world’s biggest hotel brands – and its power to bring
them customers from around the world – to secure exclusive availability for the campaign.
“Agents can take advantage of the great deals that hotels have given us to make their clients’ trips that extra
bit special,” adds Flavia Alzetta, GTA’s Senior Vice President for Global Sales & Marketing. “Our online
booking sites – Travel Bound, TravelCube and GTA wholesale – give agents access to these unbeatable
allotments at competitive prices, coupled with our unrivalled terms and conditions, service and support. It’s a
great chance for agents to help travellers have an unforgettable time.”
