Online Distribution of Destination Services is fast becoming a hot topic for DMCs. With players like Kuoni Connect and MaXvantage (an alliance of American Express Business Travel & Maritz Travel) going after the 'Do-it-Yourself' marketplace valued at $100 Billion in the U.S. alone, individual DMCs will find it increasingly hard to compete in the online space. conworld.net has teamed up with e-Destin Access, making available the technology for every DMC to have an on-line marketplace with complete tariff offering available in a secure environment accessible to clients via a proprietary login. DMCs interested to distribute destination services online please contact Joern Lucht, President & Founder of conworld.net.

'We are convinced that the demand for individual travel components in Australia will continue to grow within the next years and we are happy to now have many high quality hotels and destination services in Australia included in our global portfolio,” said Rina De Luca, Head of Product Management for Kuoni Connect.
Kuoni Connect plans to further expand its destination portfolio throughout 2010.
