HRG chooses Galileo as its global GDS partner

A new, long-term, global agreement has been signed by Galileo GDS and Hogg Robinson Group (HRG).

The new agreement will, for the first time, extend Galileo's current international GDS contract with HRG to include the US – the world's largest GDS region in terms of segment volume.

Galileo has been working with HRG for a number of years across multiple regions and the two businesses are currently developing a number of new market initiatives including the launch of HRG's Universal Super Platform – its new point of sale desktop developed for the Queensland Government, Australia.

"We already have a strong and successful track record of working closely with HRG across the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Asia Pacific regions. Specifically, our GDS leadership in the fast-growing Asia Pacific region has particularly helped HRG to grow its business in Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. We're delighted HRG has now chosen us as its global GDS partner," said Sandra McLeod, Vice President, Global Accounts and Strategic Corporate Development, Travelport GDS.
