Since the end of November 2023, the Rail Europe booking platform has integrated a Multi-Providers function into its offering.
The new tool is designed to improve the booking experience for agents and travel managers by allowing them to book train tickets from different suppliers for a single journey.
This functionality is available on all B2B channels - i.e. for use by travel professionals. This includes RailPortal (commercial site), RailFlash and RailAPI.
Thanks to the "Multi-operator" function, theusers of Rail Europe can easily add several legs of a journey in a single click and create a single booking.
It is abouta real quantum leap in terms of the efficiency of establishing a rail route. An agent on a rail journey, such as Paris-Copenhagen, used to have to split the journey between the different suppliers. With an individual reservation for each leg of the journey. But now, the agent or travel manager can search for and book the entire journey in one go.
Increasing the appeal of a train journey
" Rail Europe is committed to improving the booking experience for its travel agents and partners. Multi-Providers is a testament to this commitment. Today, we are offering the ability to book complex journeys at the click of a button, and extending this convenience to both long-standing and new customers. This innovative feature should simplify the booking process and save valuable time. The bottom line, it encourages more people to choose rail travel" says Björn Bender, Executive Chairman and CEO of Rail Europe.
