Germanwings signs isango! as exclusive Tours & Activity Partner |
Germanwings has selected isango! as exclusive partner to enable their online customers to pre-book 1000s of tours, activities and excursions through the germanwings.com website
|
Germanwings is not only the first large German partner to take advantage of isango!'s German offering but also the first major German airline to fully embrace the activities category.
The partnership represents not only, a great cross sell revenue opportunity, but also a reason to travel on the low cost airline. By pre-booking flights and tours on Germanwings, customers avoid not only long queues, but also higher on-the-spot charges. Tours like "a city tour in Stuttgart" or "cruise on the River Rhine" can be instantly confirmed online. As the first airline in the German market to offer activities in all major European destinations, Germanwings provides added value to its customers with an innovative and inspirational service.
Gregor Schluter, Senior Vice President Marketing and Sales with Germanwings says:
"isango is the ideal partner for Germanwings. Our customers are active in their holidays and want to discover Europe with us. We believe that our customers will respond with enthusiasm to the wide product range of isango! and we are looking forward to cooperating with them."
Danele Beccari, isango! - adds:
"We're very excited to be working with Germanwings and encouraged by their enthusiastic, detailed attention to the category. We've known for some time that the German consumer is ready and waiting - and we have been keen to get a first partnership live. Germanwings represent 'best in breed' in the market and a great, trusted brand through which to launch our German B2B offering".
Graham Donoghue - Managing Director of Travelsupermarket comments on the partnership:
