The B2B online platform’s partners can now book rail tickets across a range of European destinations for their clients as part of a new agreement with Rail Europe
The launch of the new rail system allows RateHawk’s partners to book all travel components in one place, with the new service complimenting the already existing options for accommodations, flights, car rentals and transfers.
Rail tickets are available across 13 European countries, including France, the Netherlands, Hungary, Poland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the UK, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Czech Republic and Austria.
Fredrik Bonnalt, head of non-accommodation supply, said, “Rail travel offers great opportunities for our partners' businesses, enabling them to meet customer needs and attract new clients. Travel agents and professionals can now offer hotel stays with rail tickets, providing a sustainable travel option.
“Rail transportation is widely recognised as the most environmentally friendly option, and with many companies prioritising carbon footprint reduction and incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives into their corporate travel programmes, our TMC partners can greatly benefit from this new booking service.”
Through the new system travel professionals can compare rail ticket options for the day in a single window, streamlining the process by offering a more efficient filtering system.
