The pan-Asia travel company has entered into an agreement with RWS to provide accommodation, transportation and sales support for visitors to RWS and its famed Universal Studios when RWS commences operations.

Together with RWS and hotel and airline partners, Asiatravel.com Holdings is putting together affordably priced comprehensive packages comprising Universal Studios tickets, hotel accommodation, and air and land transportation to attract a wide range of visitors to Universal Studios and the resort.

'Resorts World Sentosa is Asia's ultimate family destination. We are very excited to work with Resorts World Sentosa to launch very compelling and competitively priced all-inclusive packages to RWS and the famed Universal Studios Singapore.' said Boh Tuang Poh, Asiatravel's executive chairman.

Through its website, www.asiatravel.com, the company will roll out attractive packages to Universal Studios and RWS to its online customers throughout the region and beyond, and generally increase its hotel room and air ticket promotions into Singapore.

To tap the sizable offline leisure travel segments in Asia, the company said that it will introduce a comprehensive sales and promotion programme for Universal Studios and RWS through all of its own offline wholesaling and retail divisions as well as its numerous travel agent networks in Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, India, Thailand, the Middle East, Malaysia, and the Philippines and partners in many other markets.

'In all, the company plans to bring a significant number of visitors a day to the Universal Studios, starting from the first day of RWS's opening. Since all of Asiatravel's services are highly scalable, the company is confident that it will be able to cater to large increases in the number of customers,' the company said.

Said RWS's director for destination sales, Liang Wern Ling: 'Asiatravel's clout and credibility has been consistent in the travel industry, and Resorts World Sentosa is most confident in Asiatravel's capabilities in delivering a seamless experience for our overseas guests when they prepare to visit Resorts World Sentosa, including South-east Asia's first and only Universal Studios theme park.'

With these RWS packages, Asiatravel said that it will expand its product range into the huge leisure travel packages market and introduce a seamless instant confirmation booking service for both consumers and travel agencies. In addition, the company will have a state of the art back-end system to manage the operational logistics of the project.
