Webjet and NGT Combine To Provide Internet Travel Services To The FIAA
6th November 2000
Leading internet travel service provider Webjet, and Conference and Incentive Travel specialist NGT Travel, have agreed to form a strategic alliance to provide a full compliment of Conference, Event and Incentive travel management services via the webjet.com.au internet web site.
The alliance kicks off with an arrangement, incorporating the FIAA (Furnishing Industry Association of Australia), whose annual Furnitex Furniture show to be held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre in July 2001 is expected to draw more than 10,000 exhibitors, industry retailers, wholesalers and members of the public. Through the Webjet web site, Furnitex conference delegates and attendees from anywhere in the world will be able to register for specially negotiated deals for flights, accommodation, transport as well as spouse programs and local site seeing tours.
Webjet plans to promote the Conference, Event and Incentive travel services directly via their website as well as via their growing list of on line alliance partners.
'NGT's extensive professional experience in Conference and Incentive Travel Management is the perfect compliment to our growing range of internet travel services' said Webjet Managing Director, David Clarke. "With corporate demand for this type of specialty travel service increasing, the alliance with NGT places Webjet in a position where we can confidently offer these services to our customers knowing that they will receive service of the highest standard'. 'Additionally, with webjet.com.au among the highest ranked websites in Australia, Webjet is immediately able to offer both NGT Travel and conference organisers such as the FIAA, a high level of exposure amongst a rapidly growing internet community'.
