Travelport Completes Acquisition of Sprice.com

- Significantly Expands Breadth and Depth of Hotel Options for Travelport-Connected Agents; Enhances GDS Channels with Proven Search Technology -

LANGLEY, UK & SINGAPORE – May 18, 2010 – Travelport, one of the world’s leading global distribution system (GDS) providers, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Singapore-based Sprice Pte. Ltd., which owns and operates hotel and travel search engine Sprice.com (http://www.sprice.com). Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

As a consequence of the deal, Travelport will significantly expand its hospitality offering by providing Galileo and Worldspan-connected agents with access to Sprice’s portfolio of over 240,000 international hotel properties, as well as a comprehensive suite of hotel reviews, merchandising options and comparison tools. Travelport will also utilise Sprice’s proven search technology to enhance its GDS channels, enabling the company to deliver and distribute richer, more diverse supplier content to its subscriber customers.

“With Sprice, Travelport has acquired firstly, a highly innovative proven technology platform that is deeply synergistic to our GDS business, enabling us to deliver and distribute more content and secondly, an established and vibrant inventory of hotel options and comparison tools that will significantly add to our existing hospitality portfolio,” said Gordon Wilson, deputy CEO, Travelport and president and CEO, Travelport GDS. “Along with these significant assets comes the intellectual capital of the Sprice team, a group of very bright and talented executives who we are pleased to have join our company.”

The Sprice acquisition supports Travelport’s strategy to rapidly expand the availability of hospitality content for its travel agency customers. Through this acquisition, Travelport expects to deliver a much broader range of hotel options to its travel agency customers, supported by comparison features, as well as providing the technology platform for new content such as, for example, parking, events and attractions and dining. Founded in June 2006 Sprice offers consumers broad access to unique content in Europe and Asia and provides travel operators with a low-cost, efficient distribution channel for their services.

Sprice’s expertise, relationships, technology platform and market presence especially in Europe and Asia, all fit well with Travelport’s vision for the delivery of industry-leading hospitality content. Leveraging Sprice’s technology assets, Travelport expects to accelerate the availability of a broader range of hospitality content within Travelport’s Universal Desktop, enabled via the Universal API, which is slated for commercial delivery beginning in the second half of this year. In doing so, Travelport creates opportunities for those travel suppliers who would not normally consider participation in the GDS channel, making their inventory available to GDS-connected agents.

As a result of this acquisition, Travelport expects to be able to extend the range of options available to agents, suppliers and their mutual customers. Beyond Travelport’s existing channels, Sprice’s current direct to consumer offering provides Travelport with valuable insight into traveler shopping and booking behaviors.

“We are excited to be joining Travelport,” said Sprice co-founder and CEO Jerome Thil. “Bringing together Sprice’s meta search technology and Travelport’s powerful GDS transaction processing capabilities creates great synergy and the potential for new development and innovation, charting an exciting new path forward for us.”

Sprice is headquartered in Singapore and has an office in Strasbourg, France. All eighteen Sprice employees have been extended offers of employment at Travelport. Sprice will be managed under the recently announced Consumer and New Ventures group within Travelport.

Sprice was previously backed by two leading venture capital firms, Sofinnova Partners and Walden International. Quilvest Banque Privée advised the sellers on the transaction.

Olivier Sichel, a partner at Sofinnova Partners said, “Since 2006, Sofinnova has supported the Sprice team in its development as a company and we are very pleased that Sprice technology is recognized by such a prestigious group as Travelport."

Sprice.com partners with Hotels.com

Sprice.com, one of the world’s leading travel search engine, announced a partnership with Hotels.com, the global hotel specialist, which will offer travelers a choice of over 110,000 hotels worldwide on Sprice.com.

An online survey of over 5,500 travelers from eleven countries globally that was administered in August 2008 and jointly published by Visa International and the Pacific Asia Travel Association indicated that Asia Pacific continues to be the region of choice for leisure travelers with 64 percent of respondents stating that they have travelled to or within the region. Looking ahead for the next two years, Asia Pacific is expected to maintain its lead with 60 percent of respondents saying they plan to travel to the region. The research also found that three-quarters of all travelers prefer to plan their travel online, starting first with broad-based planning before zooming in on specific destinations for more focused research.

Said Johan Svanstrom, Managing Director Hotels.com Asia Pacific, “Asia’s popularity as a travel destination, and the growing number of Asian travelers, presents to us immense opportunities. Our partnership with Sprice.com will help us to leverage these opportunities and reach out to a wider segment of travelers, presenting them with accommodation options that meet a wide variety of preference and budget.”

Said Vikas Gulati, Vice President for Asia Pacific, Sprice.com, “As a leading real-time travel search portal, Sprice.com is excited by our partnership with Hotels.com. At Sprice.com, we aim to offer to travelers the range of choice at the lowest possible rates, and this partnership with Hotels.com will enable us to do just that.”

Travel search engine launches improved Hotel Review feature in response to growing popularity among consumers

Sprice.com, the world’s leading travel search engine, has emerged as the definitive market leader in Asia Pacific, reaching over one million visitors per month. This milestone solidifies Sprice.com’s position as the fastest-growing travel search engine since establishing its presence in the region in 2007.

“We are very pleased to be the number one travel search engine in Asia Pacific now. Clearly, our strategy is working. Our strong and growing database of hotel and travel content is proving immensely popular with travellers in the region,” said Vikas Gulati, Vice President of Asia Pacific, Sprice.com.

In response to its growing popularity, Sprice.com has enhanced its hotel application to provide users with a more superior search experience. Consumers are now able to search, in real time, availability and prices of hotels housed in one of the largest online databases existing currently. Furthermore, users can refine their search according to the hotel rating and amenities they desire. For example, a user searching for four-star hotel in Singapore with a swimming pool, a fitness centre and Wi-Fi will be able to choose from over 43 hotels. Users are also able to directly search on the websites of Sprice.com’s key hotel partners.

“With our improved hotel application, Sprice.com is confident of breaking another record by the end of 2009, and double our visitorship,” said Gulati. “Consumers in the region are increasingly embracing the travel search engine as a research tool for their holiday-planning. A recent survey we commissioned in Singapore for example, found that 59% of respondents preferred to use travel search engines to plan their holidays, compared to mainstream search engines like Google and traditional mediums such as newspapers.”

With a global footprint in 15 markets across the globe and a reach of three million users per month, Sprice.com is looking to grow its business in Asia Pacific further by increasing investments and expanding operations in countries such as Singapore, India, Malaysia, Philippines and Hong Kong, where it already has a presence in.

The one-million visitor count in Asia Pacific as well its new and improved hotel application also strengthens Sprice.com’s leadership as an effective marketing platform and branding tool for travel providers worldwide. Currently, Sprice.com partners over 200 leading travel vendors and 120,000 hotels in the world including Asia-based companies such as Asiatravel, Asiarooms, Agoda and Zuji. Sprice.com also works with travel portals including ExpressIndia, OneIndia and Sify.

Gulati added, “We constantly reassess our site to better meet the needs of consumers. Since its inception, Sprice.com has undergone several interface changes to offer visitors a more user-friendly design and improved functionality and we will continue to do so moving forward.”

Sprice.com to unveil mobile application, travel packages

By karine on Monday, November 9 2009, 17:12

Published: January 26, 2009

www.thehindubusinessline.com

Sprice.com, a real-time travel search engine which recently expanded its global footprint into India with the launch of a dedicated Web site, plans to launch its mobile application and holiday packages soon in the country.

“We will be launching our mobile application, essentially a social networking application while you are travelling, and also other services such as holiday packages in due course,” said Mr Vikas Gulati, Vice-President-Asia Pacific, Sprice.com, in an e-mail interview to Business Line.

India is absolutely central to the company’s plans in the Asia-Pacific and he hoped “to capitalise on the market’s vast opportunities for growth in the online travel industry” which is over $2 billion.

“We are currently servicing close to two lakh visitors a month in India and expect to achieve 1 million visitors a month by June. India will contribute at least 40 per cent of the APAC revenues,” he said. ‘Value’ product

On his product’s USP, Mr Gulati explained that from a user standpoint, there is tremendous value.

“Consider this, an average consumer checks 6 to 8 sources of information before making a purchase decision. Sprice.com aims to bring all these sources into one resource, allowing consumers to compare results from multiple sources on one single Web site.”

He added that the latest hotel application has also been launched in India that would enable users to search for the hotel of their choice.

Though most meta search players search for only lowest price offers, “consumers are not looking at price alone when it comes to the choice of stay,” he said. Revenues stream

On its business model, he said that the company adopts a neutral business model with revenues flowing in from sponsored links and advertising.

“As a marketing channel, we generate more than 600 bookings a day for our travel partners across the globe. We also power travel channels of some of the leading portals across the globe and work with them on unique revenue sharing basis,” he added.

In India, Sprice.com has partnerships with OneIndia.in and Express India group. The company hopes to soon announce a tie-up with one of the country’s leading portals.

Techtree.com, European Travel Site Enters India

Sprice.com, a European travel search engine has launched its Indian counterpart. Sprice.com displays not only fare information, but also taxes, surcharges, and all-inclusive prices, all on a single screen.

The site claims to offers travellers up-to-date information from different travel suppliers on air fares, hotel rates and traveller reviewed hotels from India on a single interface, thus cutting down on your research time.

Once the user has typed in the city name that he/she intends to visit, the site provides a list of hotels in categories ranging from popular hotels to cheapest hotels. However, those looking for a real cheap deal might not be happy with the result. When clicked on a particular hotel link, users get a single-page view featuring reviews, photos, map, price (inclusive of taxes) and ranking.

Booking a flight ticket works just like any other travel site: After finding a suitable offer, users are directed to the relevant vendor's website with a click, for booking.

Sprice.com has all the essential features required by a user, plus a slight upper hand on competition as it also provides an aggregation of best deals from other vendors as well. But only time will tell how well this leading travel site fares in India, where we already have some established names in the market such as Makemytrip, Travelguru and Yatra.

Face-to-Face with Vikas Gulati, Vice President Asia Pacific

By karine on Monday, November 9 2009, 17:09

Traveldailysia.com

9/2/2008 2:31:00 PM

1) With travel agents still dominating the Asian market, what trends are you noticing towards online booking engines such as Sprice.com?

There are a few key trends in the Asian travel search industry that Sprice.com has observed. The online travel market is becoming increasingly fragmented with ever more travel suppliers and OTAs. Also, consumers are searching more travel websites before purchase. This clearly indicates that online travel search engines, which allow users to find the best travel offers and information on a single website, is poised for huge growth in Asia. However, there is generally a lower level of awareness of travel meta search engines and their function among consumers and travel suppliers here. Sprice.com’s focus in Asia Pacific is to further drive consumer as well as industry awareness. We are targeting one million consumers per month in Asia Pacific by mid-2009. As the leading travel search engine in Europe, we expect to be equally successful in Asia Pacific as well.

2) How is Sprice.com able to achieve best available content and rates for its users?

Firstly, Sprice.com is the only truly global travel search engine that works with international as well as local travel agents. This means that users have access to a wider and more localised range of content. Secondly, Sprice.com also operates via a unique real-time deep-search mechanism. Often Internet users want to search for hotels, car, cruises and even spa packages. Sprice.com has an industry-first holiday package application that allows consumers the access to all that information on a single website. Currently, we are the only website globally to have this product successfully implemented in India. By combining rich and localised content with real-time deep-search technology, Sprice.com is gaining more consumer popularity. In turn, more travel suppliers around the world recognise us as an effective marketing tool.

3) What plans does Sprice.com have in targeting the lucrative mainland Chinese market, and what challenges do you face?

Sprice.com is focused on driving growth in our key markets, namely Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand, with Singapore. We are launching in India shortly and that is central to our plans in Asia. We are targeting to launch our China site between 2009 and 2010. While there is currently a low demand among Chinese users for travel search engines, Chinese is a lucrative travel market that has vast opportunities. The main challenge is to have the best content. That is why Sprice.com’s key objective is to develop rich content that is relevant to the local consumers. Sprice.com is the only international travel search engine capable to handle this content and this is due to our unique real-time deep-search technology.

4) Have you experienced difficulties with suppliers who want to drive traffic from their own websites (especially low-cost airlines)?

We are a travel search engine and a marketing tool for travel suppliers, rather than a competitor. Our strength stems from the fact that we are absolutely objective in our search results and consumers can expect a neutral response to the search results.

5) Sprice.com has come a long way in short space of time. What developments can we expect to see from Sprice.com in the future?

To continue our rapid expansion in Asia Pacific, we are building partnerships with leading portals to reach a wider audience. At the same time, we will continue to explore strategic partnerships with travel suppliers to further develop rich and highly-localised content. We are expecting to make more announcements relating to upcoming partnerships and consumer marketing programmes, and will share details with you when they are available. We are also looking to launch one of the world’s largest consumer-referral websites on hotels in Asia Pacific, as well as a mobile version of Sprice.com.

John Fearon, head of marketing for Asiarooms.com, said, “While Sprice.com represents an opportunity to us to further extend our exposure in the region, we provide Sprice.com’s users with greater access to a wider range of hotel deals and information online.” With the latest addition of Asiarooms.com, Sprice.com now has more than 170 partnerships with leading travel partners in Asia Pacific and around the world.
