ELLEIPSIS SIGNS A DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH CNG TRAVEL GROUP
Elleipsis, the premiere provider of aggregated
travel web services based on Open Travel Alliance (OTA) specifications,
announced today that it has signed a distribution agreement with CNG Travel
Group, a world leader in the design and development of integrated technology
solutions for the global travel industry.
Through this agreement, Elleipsis will be able to offer access to the inventory
of the CNG hotels to its customers. The development will allow Elleipsis
customers to use OTA messages to query the CNG hotel application. TravelTalk
will aggregate CNG content with GDSs hotel content allowing Elleispis' customers
to efficiently and simply shop for hotel rates.
"We believe that our ability to connect into the CNG hotel suppliers, will
increase the travel content that we will offer to our growing number of
customers," said Diane Byman, President of Elleipsis. "We are thrilled to
partner with CNG and to offer access to 25,000 net rate hotels worldwide."
CNG has an inventory of over 25,000 net rate hotels worldwide and guarantees the
lowest online hotel prices. CNG Travel Group's hotel-friendly merchant rate
program provides the competitive rates that are such an important factor in
today's travel industry, where room rate and other information is widely
available to consumers. CNG's programs allow agents and partners to take a
reasonable commission while still providing their customers a discount on a
hotel's published rack rate.
About
CNG Travel Group:
CNG's business has two interrelated strands: CNG's proprietary Travel Lodging
Connector (TLC) software is revolutionizing the way travel agents make hotel
reservations by giving them access to worldwide hotel rooms at discounted rates
and enhanced commissions. TLC enables travel agents to book hotel rooms for
clients at rates comparable to those offered by major online booking services.
TLC's innovative Prompt Pay service ensures agents receive hotel commissions
much faster than with the traditional hotel model. CNG's private rate hotel
program is expanding rapidly and now comprises over 25,000 hotels worldwide. In
addition to travel agencies, CNG's hotel program is used by over 1,200 affiliate
partners around the world, such as airlines and travel websites and by CNG's own
Tzell Travel agency, one of the largest US corporate travel agencies whose
buying power and airline relationships make it a leader in the premium air
market.
With headquarters in Kenmare, Ireland, CNG was founded by CEO Finbarr Power in
1999 and floated on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market in May 2004, raising
£22m. It is currently capitalized at £62 million and employs over 350 staff in
Europe and the USA.
