SAN MATEO, CA. – Mondee Inc., the fast-growth, travel technology company and marketplace, with a portfolio of globally recognized platforms and brands in the leisure, retail and corporate travel sectors, announced that it has signed a strategic partnership with Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. that will significantly expand customer access to TripPlanet, one of Mondee’s marquee subscription-based, end-to-end business travel brands.
Mondee’s partnership with Gallagher will provide access to TripPlanet for their more than 287,000 businesses and organizations. Mondee will work closely with Allied Business Network (ABN), a membership-based small business benefit provider, part of the Gallagher Network that includes Gallagher Affinity, the program administrator and benefits provider for over 1,000 national associations and affinity groups and 20 million members.
TripPlanet offers, on a subscription basis, better rates for flights and hotels than are available on online travel agents, as well as enhanced business travel services to small and medium sized enterprises, membership organizations, associations, educational institutions and NGOs. In a very short period of time since its launch in the summer of 2021 over 4 million users already have access to TripPlanet. The consumer-friendly tech platform combines Mondee's global content hub, marketplace, sustainability features and conversational commerce engine with expense tracking, administrative planning features, policy settings, traveler safety features, and powerful reporting to help customers save time and money on business travel, while staying safe and reducing their travel carbon footprint. The simple, cost-saving business travel platform offers customers access to over to 500+ airlines, over 1 million hotel and hospitality accommodations, packaged solutions and ancillary offerings in the fastest recovering travel segment, among other value-added services.
“We are thrilled to offer the Gallagher network’s high-quality membership access to Mondee’s market leading travel products through our consumer-friendly TripPlanet platform,” said SVP & GM, Corporate at TripPlanet Kim Andreello. “TripPlanet leverages Mondee’s market-leading operating system to bring simple, cost-effective travel services to small and medium-sized businesses and organizations. At Mondee, we believe that continuing to strengthen our distribution network through subscription-based platforms like TripPlanet is an essential next step in our evolution and growth, and we are very pleased to partner with Gallagher to better serve value-savvy travelers in their network.”
Mondee expects to complete its previously announced business combination with ITHAX Acquisition Corp. in the first half of 2022, at which time the combined company anticipates being listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “MOND.”
