GO VACATION Thailand, based in Bangkok, has chosen Dubai-based Illusions Online to be its one-stop travel technology solutions provider, replacing its four in-house software systems for B2B transactions, accounting, contracting and website.

Go Vacation Thailand managing director, Christoph Mueller, said that while the cost of the switch was “many times” more than what travel technology providers in Thailand would charge, he believed that the investment was worth it.

“We are expecting a 20 per cent increase in business after the first year of operating under this new travel technology,” he said.

Go Vacation Thailand’s new system is expected to go live in November.

Bali-based Go Vacation Indonesia has also signed up to implement Illusion Online’s system, which is scheduled to be fully operational in May next year.

A decision has yet to be made on whether the system will be implemented at Colombo-based Go Vacation Sri Lanka.
