Users of the portal will be able to make, cancel and amend bookings online as well as make use youtravel.com services including in-resort representation and pre and post-departure customer services.

“Now our agency customers using the Galileo Leisure portal will have access to youtravel.com’s extensive beach resort content as well as the city hotel content provided by GTA.”
