Panda Travel Releases New International Inbound Packaging Options

The provider of Hawaiian vacation packages expands its options for international customers and makes it easier to find complete travel packages

Panda Travel, a travel agency specializing in discount Hawaii vacation packages, has announced the expansion of its international inbound packaging to include several new feature enhancements. These new additions make it possible for customers to book hotel-inclusive packages departing from almost any airport (subject to availability).

Flights on Korean Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, and Philippines Airlines are relatively competitive, and the company is expecting to sell itineraries packaged with these airlines. Customers will be able to book Hawaii travel on an international inbound flight and experience many of the sights and activities that make the islands such popular destinations.

“We’re very excited about this new development to our system, said Robin Sarceda, Sales and Business Development Manager of Panda Travel. “We are dedicated to providing low fares and affordable itineraries for our customers, and this is one more way we can make the Hawaiian Islands available to more people.”

Other improvements to the system include a configurable color scheme that gives the company’s clients the ability to customize the background images and text images so that it will match their own homepage. Work has also gone into reprogramming the search algorithm for Alaska Airlines fares so they can publish the lowest fares available when air-only itineraries are searched.

“At Panda Travel we are always working to improve our services and make the experience even better for our customers,” Sarceda said. “These new international inbound packages will open up a lot of opportunities for travelers to visit Hawaii and create some incredible memories.”
