BlueSky Travel Systems moves into Germany
UK tour operator systems supplier BlueSky Travel Systems is to open a subsidiary in Germany
The company believes the time is right to break into the German market, traditionally dominated by package holidays, as it begins to embrace the internet and dynamic packaging, according to a statement.
Managing director Mark Fallon said: “The German market is a natural progression for us coming from the UK with our ongoing work and experience so far gained within one of the UK’s largest travel companies.
“We are ideally placed as the German tour operator market opens up and looks for new ways of distributing travel.”
Ruediger Schmidt is to head the new office. He was sales manager for tour operator solutions at Bewotec and worked in the travel department at Siemens.
Fallon added: “We are delighted to have appointed Ruediger to run Germany for us. He is truly an insider in a market, which is traditionally difficult to break into.”
