| Omega World Travel’s strategic partnership
with Air Security International
provides risk management solutions to corporate travel programs in need
Fairfax, Va., August 14, 2006 – “Terror Plot Foiled,”
“Fear in the Skies,” “Travelers Resigned to Tougher
Security Measures”—business travelers can’t escape today’s
headlines and face growing, unprecedented threats. Travel management company
Omega World Travel has partnered with Air Security International to introduce
MegaTrak: a new risk management solution for business people on the move.
“With heightened danger warnings and security concerns, the role
of travel agent has evolved into one of protector by providing 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week customer assistance wherever they may be, along with
help internationally to ensure global safety,” said Gloria Bohan,
President and CEO of Omega World Travel. “Both business and leisure
travelers want to continue to travel the world safely, and the added assurance
that we can offer by phone, virtually, and on location in 70 countries
is one role that we gladly fill. Through the cooperation of ASI, our new
travel security solution – MegaTrak – combines the most advanced
security content and communications features in one package for comprehensive
traveler safety.”
As the Internet and technology leads to new commercial opportunities in
a global economy, businesses expand their markets and more people travel,
facing unfamiliar places with hidden dangers.
The MegaTrak
solution lends peace of mind in a sometimes perilous world. MegaTrak
(Owt.net/megatrak) effectively tracks en route corporate travelers in
real-time, wherever they are. The solution combines data from multiple
reservation systems, produces special reports when significant events
occur, and offers customized briefings for hundreds of business destinations.
And Omega’s US-staffed emergency service centers cater to MegaTrak
users’ needs 24-hours a day, providing valuable information and
assistance when it’s needed most.
MegaTrak
is powered by ASI, a leading provider of intelligence and security services.

and other travelers around the globe.
“Air Security International (ASI) is proud to be associated with
Omega World Travel in assisting and meeting the needs of its travelers
who travel domestically and internationally, by air, land, and sea,”
said Mark Hall, Vice President of Business Development for ASI. “Omega’s
travel professionals and ASI’s security professionals have parlayed
their expertise, education, and services in ultimately benefiting the
traveler before, during, and after a trip.”

management with MegaTrak,
but also offers robust business solutions like group meeting planning;

Mark Hall’s team is in the business of spotting risk before it happens
and his company knows how to prevent it. “ASI’s goal is to
ensure that Omega World Travel’s MegaTrak
clients are provided information, data, and intelligence that will significantly
reduce the chances of a traveler from becoming a victim of crime, an act
of terror, kidnapping, extortion, or industrial espionage,” he said.
“Monitoring and tracking through MegaTrak, along with a caring agent
who knows you, is the best traveler assurance that we can provide,”
said Bohan. |
