Ramblers Worldwide Holidays Selects Comtec’s Travelink System to Boost Sales

Comtec Group has successfully implemented its Travelink tour operator system across 50 users at walking specialist Ramblers Worldwide Holidays. The direct-sell operator, which puts together a range of group walking tours around the globe, selected Travelink specifically for its ‘Tours’ functionality which can help increase sales through speedy loading and management of complex itineraries.

Ramblers was seeking a technology partner which would help the business increase its position as the market leader in group walking holidays, continue to provide a valued service to its clients, permit growth whilst being profitable. Travelink’s powerful booking platform which automates the sales process whether for tailor-made itineraries or tours and individual components, combined with a powerful web presence, made Comtec a clear choice to help Ramblers sell its product effectively to its expanding range of audiences.

Ramblers’ highly specialised tours will benefit greatly from the automated, flexible and sales focused platform we provide, and we are confident they will see sales efficiencies and uplift in a relatively short timeframe.”"
