Five Star Alliance Expands StarHub Travel

Opportunities to New Round of Agencies

New York, NY & Washington, DC on August 21, 2023 — FSA Travel, LLC, the operators of Five Star Alliance (https://www.fivestaralliance.com), are making their StarHub Travel technology platform open to a new round of travel companies. StarHub Travel is a full-service solution for travel agencies booking and managing travel reservations worldwide.

As technology as a whole has made most tasks easier, and more efficient, the hotel industry continues to operate in a multichannel pricing structure that makes researching and booking hotels more difficult and time consuming. The travel advisor must handle availability and price checking across multiple websites, distribution tools, bed-banks, suppliers, and consortia programs to ensure their client has the best price available. On top of that, they need to also manage which channel will provide the best revenue or commission levels. Additionally, special offers, last minute deals, overrides, and more are not visible in one place. Finding these quickly and easily can make an advisor infinitely more capable and save everyone time. Overall, today’s advisors are finding the time spent researching travel and making bookings is increasing - not decreasing.

Until now.

The StarHub Travel solution offers a software platform with booking tools that take the search, availability, and booking process down to a few keystrokes in a user-friendly interface on both desktop and mobile devices. Using an individual agency’s IATA number, pseudo cities, and contracts, StarHub travel’s proprietary technology is one of a kind and provides combinability across rates codes and hotel rules. With rich content and the widest lens of published and unpublished rates inlaid with contracted, consortia, and any agency private rates - a travel advisor has the full rate stack at their fingertips.

StarHub Travel makes any advisor a superstar.

The software platform is able to lessen the cost of doing business and also includes full integration into all back-office systems - including CRM, reporting, billing, and commission collection software.

Overall, StarHub Travel provides travel agencies:

• Full control over their brand, inventory, and contracts
• Anytime, anywhere connectivity
• Streamlined product connecting all their travel suppliers
• More focused and targeted availability
• Higher productivity and conversions
• Better product marketing, opportunities, and offerings
• Reduced operational costs

John McMahon, CEO and Owner of FSA Travel, LLC:

"This technology has been evolving for years and has made the advisors within our agency the most productive in the industry. Our industry has a major challenge going forward with productivity and time management. With most agents working remotely the agency with the best tools will be the most profitable and provide the most value - both to independent contractors and clients. We made this technology available to all agency owners to make their agent’s job easier - including independence from the antiquated GDS interfaces.”

Courtney W. May, General Manager and Co-Owner of FSA Travel, LLC:

“We are able to offer this one of a kind tool after spending the last ten years trying to solve our own issues combining inventory sources from at least 5-10 suppliers at any given time. To do this, we created highly structured and organized, relational databases that can be sourced and easily readable by machine learning algorithms or through our own white label solution. Collected and scaled in different ways by integrating multiple distribution channels, we streamline the entire availability and booking process into a single feed. Our niche and highly specific knowledge base has allowed us to create tools that are highly automated and scalable. This allows us to highlight inventory and promote those options which are more profitable to any given business using their set of priorities.”
