Access to Content

Ensuring that CWT clients always can access the content they need

Carlson Wagonlit Travel works with its clients to ensure access to appropriate content at attractive prices in accordance with their travel policy.

For both on- and offline bookings, CWT ensures that, in accordance with their travel policy, clients have access to relevant supplier inventory - scheduling, fares and availability - and the most competitive pricing . As regular audits have demonstrated, CWT clients obtain significantly lower fares and rates than those found on the Internet.

Innovative content access

Because each client may have specific content requirements, CWT has the flexibility to use industry-standard Global Distribution Systems (GDSs) to access content on behalf of clients, as well as the ability to directly connect to many airlines’ and hoteliers’ inventory. Travel suppliers who choose not to participate in standard GDSs can be accessed as appropriate through flexible solutions configured for maximum efficiency in the reservations process.

CWT Web Fares is a specialized product for the European market that allows clients to access airlines who do not provide their content via standard GDS in an efficient manner for CWT travel counselors, with complete integration into a client’s travel program. Additionally, the CWT HARP hotel database - one of the world’s largest proprietary hotel databases - provides access to GDS and non-GDS hotel content for both CWT and your own hotel program.
