Paris -- FastBooking, one of the world's leading online solutions providers for the hospitality industry, and Travelport, the business services provider to the global travel industry (GDS), have reached an agreement through which FastBooking client hotels are displayed and bookable on www.travelportroomsandmore.com , Travelport's recently launched ground breaking hotel booking tool which allows travel agents to book a greater choice of commissionable accommodation and take advantage of the rapidly growing hotel sector.

"Our goal is to increase our hotels' online business with travel agencies worldwide and to consolidate our position in this high-potential segment. The agreement with Travelport, one of the leading GDS players, is coherent with our strategy of developing a quality distribution network for our hotel clients by working with strong international partners," said Alain Hirschfeld, Marketing Director, Business Development.
