Distribution
Radius on Oct. 1 will provide travel agency members access to "off-GDS" hotel, airline and rental car inventory.
The RadiusGo service will encompass 35,000 such options that member agencies can offer to corporate customers, augmenting content available through global distribution system channels. According to Radius, the new service will source inventory from Tourico Holidays, a travel distributor "that contracts directly with travel providers" and uses "a high-volume, wholesale model." Radius noted that RadiusGo will have particular relevance for "customers requiring pre-payments for travelers who don't carry a credit card, most common in the Latin America and Asia/Pacific regions."
