Singapore, 2 March: eNett International, a leading provider of dedicated B2B travel payment solutions, will be showing how European travel companies can scale operations to take advantage of growth with Virtual Account Numbers (VANs) at
ITB Berlin 2016.
The European travel market achieved total travel revenue of €264 billion in 2015, and is projected to increase 7% by 20171. To take advantage of this future growth, travel companies should be looking to automate and de-risk their operations.
eNett’s Managing Director and CEO, Anthony Hynes, said “Traditional supplier payments have put a strain on agency operations because of the manual nature of processing and reconciliation. For agencies looking to expand their customer base and supplier relationships further afield, fraud and supplier default also remain top concerns. Alternative forms of payment, such as eNett VANs, represent an opportunity for agencies to grow, while managing the costs and controlling the risks.”
eNett VANs enable travel agencies to automatically generate unique MasterCard numbers and pay their suppliers from directly within their booking flow. By streamlining payments processing and automating reconciliation, travel companies can redistribute time and resources to focus on new business and expansion. eNett VANs are also available in over 30 currencies, facilitating safe and secure payments to suppliers in 35.9 million payment locations worldwide, wherever a supplier accepts MasterCard online.
“Cross-border expansion can be challenging for both receiving and making payments,” added Hynes. “We want to reassure the industry that with the right tools, sustaining growth at projected levels is achievable. We look forward to speaking about this more, with European agencies at ITB Berlin.”
ITB Berlin 2016 will be taking place at the Berlin Exhibition Ground, 9 -13 March. To learn more about how eNett VANs can help your business grow or to arrange a meeting at the show, contact
