Air tickets in a few moments: online payments with credit card on www.paravion.ro

Amadeus Romania, MILLENNIUM Tour and GECAD ePayment introduce the online payment option through credit card, for the air tickets. The transactions are processed through the ePayment® solution, that directly communicates with the Amadeus Agency Internet Engine (ePower) online reservation system integrated on the www.paravion.ro site.

 

In September 2006, 54% of the Europeans that paid online choose the tourist offers – accommodation and transport - the first option after show tickets and concerts. In Romania, online payments for accommodation reservations and transport (plane, bus, cars) are also on top in the online payment services. About 25% from the online transactions from 2006 through GECAD ePayment were for this kind of services.

 

“The tourism is a strategic segment in the development of the electronic commerce, because the public that chooses travel packages is more familiar with the online payment system. The collaboration with Millennium Tour and Amadeus Romania makes the promotion possible to a larger public, the online payment being actually the electronic commerce”, says Carmen Sebe, CEO GECAD ePayment. Now it is more simple, faster and safer to plan a trip through www.paravion.ro. The online payment through credit card option responds to the needs of the actual society of mobility and modernization.     

 

“We thought out the paravion.ro website and all the other services that we offer, so that the visitor’s experience and the time they spend for booking the vacation to be optimum and first-class. The confort brought by the online payments through credit card made us introduce this option and we searched for a simple solution, that could offer credibility to our clients and that shouldn’t take long” says Dragos Penca, Executive Manager MILLENNIUM Tour. “We chose ePayment® from GECAD ePayment, because it is a friendly solution, secured and easy to use, making the holiday planning on the Internet a natural gesture”, added Dragos Penca.

 

The www.paravion.ro project is a special one that integrates the most used online booking solution - Amadeus Agency Internet Engine (ePower) – and a processing system for the online payments through banking card – ePayment®. As we mentioned, the two solutions directly communicate, which means that the actualization of the orders and the synchronization of the details are made in real time. The user has permanent control on the bookings and on the payments. Further, he benefits of all the ePayment® instruments regarding the protection against fraud, the administration of commands and the clients’ support.     

 

 “The two solutions’ integration, ePayment® and Amadeus Agency Internet Engine (ePower), was a real challenge. We started from two complex solutions, each of them built on different functional algorithms that in the end work as a unitary system. The result is due to the high level of flexibility and security offered by ePayment®, alongside with the opening of the team that was involved” says Razvan Militaru, Product Expert, AMADEUS Romania.        

 

Once you get inside the www.paravion.ro web pages, you can book your flying ticket, then a hotel or a car, in about 7-10 minutes. Millennium uses the Amadeus Agency Internet Engine (ePower) solution, from Amadeus, to which the visitors have free access, in real time, to the biggest services and transport data base of the world. After choosing the destination and the payment method, through banking card, the buyer gets into the secured page of the processing solution. The card data is being filled in and the command is being finalized. For more details, please visit www.paravion.ro.
