New Booking Service First to Offer Tour Operators Exclusive Italian Net Rates for Including Rail as
Part of Travel Packages
Tour.RailAgent.com Makes it Easy, Convenient and Cost-Effective to Include Rail in Packages; Get Net
Prices, Exclusive Services for Italian Rail
Newton, MA, March 4th, 2008 – Wandrian, Inc. today announced a new global rail booking
technology dedicated to official North American tour operators, tour.railagent.com (not to be confused with
RailAgent.com, the company’s web site dedicated to travel agents). The site offers Net rates (Rail Inclusive
Tariffs) for Italian train tickets, and also offers attractive pricing for other Global train products.
Operators can register on tour.railagent.com. Once approved, they will be able to book tickets, and then print
them in house or have them shipped to their offices. Operators who include rail as part of a package will now
have access to Net Fares on Italian domestic trains, and cross-border trains, such as the Artesia (Italy-France)
and Cisalpino (Italy – Switzerland). As preferred by Tour Operators, these low Net fares will not have the price
printed on the tickets.
“Wandrian’s mission is to make train travel a “top of mind” choice with travelers. Offering exclusive rates
for tour operators reinforces the message that rail is the most convenient, most cost-effective and
environmentally friendly way to visit Europe ” said Charles de Gaspe Beaubien, Senior Vice President of Business
Development. “Wandrian’s mission is also to simplify the planning and purchasing or Rail. This new state of the
art booking system makes it easier than ever for tour operators to offer more rail inclusive packages to Italy
and the rest of Europe. Tour.RailAgent.com will also alleviate some of the frustrations tour operators might have
experienced in the past thanks to our direct access to the Italian inventory and the ability to book groups
online in an automated fashion.”
