SedaniaTravelneeds2u launched its Global Starter Pack Program (GSP) in the Philippines recently marking another step in its bid to equip more than two billion air travelers annually with GSP. The GSP is distributed via 59,000 IATA agents operating in more than 200 countries or via online booking portal www.travelneeds2u.com. GSP is basically a telecommunications company (Telco) prepaid SIM card of the country that travelers are traveling to. International travelers can avoid the hassle of having to purchase a local SIM card when they arrive in a foreign country since they can buy one before departure. "Effective from February 16, travelers can purchase GSP at any authorized travel agent in the Philippines or via our online booking portal and start to experience this innovative, convenient and hassle-free service to have in advance the local Telco’s SIM card of the destination country" said SedaniaTravelneeds2U. Travelers could enjoy competitive rates as a cheaper alternative to roaming charges. A traveler will be issued with a GSP voucher once the purchase of GSP is made. This GSP voucher is to be redeemed for a SIM card at the chosen destination airport or at any other selected collection points. Travelers who purchase the GSP can start using it once it is activated without the need to go through the normal tedious registration process. They can also enjoy all the value added services that come with the starter pack. For travel agencies, GSP brings a new income stream to replace the loss in revenue from the zero-commission move from many airlines recently. It will also bring additional marketing proposition to attract more customers through creative marketing and travel related product offerings, it said. For as low as US$10, travelers around the world can purchase the GSP of a Telco from countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia and Singapore. Other countries like Vietnam, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand and Saudi Arabia will be joining the program soon and more are in the pipeline, it added. The company also said that its strategic partnership with Abacus Distribution Systems (Philippines) Inc. will allow travel agents to enjoy a convenient, innovative and cost effective way of selling as they can use the same Abacus Whiz platform used for selling tickets to sell the GSP. It will be a boost to the travel and tourism industry as well as telecommunications companies. Hopefully, more travel agents will register as GSP sellers, the company said.
