Albatravel Group

Albatravel Group was born in Venice in the early '80s as a company specialized in tourism and more precisely operating in the incoming sector.

In 1997 the company launched a hotel reservation system in the Italian market which became a huge success.

Thanks to that winning start Albatravel started its expansion on the Italian territory opening new offices in Milan, Rome, Genoa, Lecce, Messina, Pescara and Florence.

At present the Group has 300 employees, 7 branches in Italy and a sales team of 30 sales and it is therefore able to cover the national territory very thoroughly in terms of customer care.

In 2000 Worldwide Hotel Link was born with the intent to create a direct supply in terms of product having its own direct contracts with hotels and other ancillary services which is now one of the largest wholesalers in Europe and to date manages assets of over 12,000 accommodation contracts.

To date WHL (Worldwide Hotel Link) manages over 28,000 contracts allowing us to be one of the main players in the international travel industry.

Albatravel is also a member of RIPE, one of the 5 Regional Internet Registry that coordinates and supports the operation and speed of data exchange via the Internet globally. This means the Group is able to communicate with the larger operators who supply product in real time and it also provides the capacity to redistribute their product over the network having the necessary speed that the web market requires.
