microsoft-surfaceWith the new application developed by TravelTainment for Microsoft Surface, customers of travel agencies will soon choose their vacation like Tom Cruise in “Minority Report”.

Earth at your fingertips! TravelTainment, a subsidiary of Amadeus specialized in research and distribution of entertainment products, creates an application dedicated to selling travels on the interactive Microsoft Surface touch table. A world premiere. Microsoft Surface looks like a desk with a large screen, full touch and multi-touch. TravelTainment has developed this interactive table for an application that can revolutionize the sale of travels in agency. Thus, through this innovation, customers, guided by their travel consultant, can navigate through the Google world map, zoom in on their destination of choice and view the image database of 400,000 images available to them. Customers then get the information they need through an editorial – on the country, the hotel offers, points of interest … Once the traveler has selected the destination or hotel, information can be sent to the travel consultant. The latter will automatically retrieve the information in the TT-TravelOffice booking tool and can finalize the sale.

    Amazing article! The application of technology in travel agencies is a good thing. Travel information can be searched in some of the websites.
