Global Access LTD

Global Access, a pioneer in wholesale for Travel & Related Services in Egypt was launched in late 1995. Its business was built on offering to local travel agents Hotel bookings and Car Rental along with furnished apartment rentals, cruises and train tickets, sightseeing tours, meet & Assist and transfers at FIT rates. Such a service was merely offered by agents to their clients who would only buy their airline tickets and manage the rest on their own. The hotel bookings was a feature offered by the different GDS Systems, but was at rack rate or close to rack, and Aviation counter officers were very reluctant to pursue such a venue unless prompted by the client.

Global Access started with 2, then 3 the 5 travel Agents, and then refused new accounts until actual staff was able to handle the business in order to guarantee the quality service offered to agents. Nowadays, we cater for well over 300 travel agents within Egypt and handful of agents from outside the country. We have invested time and effort in training agents on selling our products to the end consumer. Many agents decided then, to launch their outbound department to cope with the growing demand on our products. In 1998, Global Access was chosen to become the GSA for Gulliver’s Travel Agency and was announced as their representative office in Egypt. Soon enough GTA who became Gulliver’s Travel Associates became the largest Travel Services company in the industry. Competition helped us in increasing our quality of services, our speed in confirming space, and stayed on top ever since.
