Rail Europe is the worldwide leader in European Rail distribution. Thanks to its vast and rich network of General Sales Agents and Travel Agents, its representative offices all over the world and Euronet, its proprietary distribution system, Rail Europe already offers an unmatched international presence and professionalism in the "brick and mortar" world.
In December 2006, with the launch of its first consumer website (B2C) in Australia, Rail Europe branched into the on-line world and, for the past 2 years, Rail Europe has been rapidly growing its on-line presence. “Being active on the web is a very logical step in Rail Europe’s development. This powerful distribution channel becomes a must and its potential seems endless. Our first sites are already a big success, with increasing visitors and sales every month. In Australia, Internet already represents 12% of the distribution mix!” says Pierre-Stephane Austi, CEO of Rail Europe.
After Rail Europe’s Australian public website, other public sites, launched under the same concept, have quickly followed in Japan, South Africa, India and 9 South American countries. Since summer 2008, 3 additional consumer sites were launched in Singapore, Hong Kong and Israel. Today, Rail Europe proudly announces its latest site in Brazil: www.raileurope.com.br
Rail Europe continues to expand its public websites, but is also committed to serving more travel trade professionals with travel trade sites (B2B) such as its site in India. Other B2B websites are being planned for fall 2008 and, by the end of 2009, no fewer than 40 websites, both B2C and B2B, will be up and running!
Rail Europe’s websites offer all intuitive navigation, rich content, the largest range of products with real time availability, and a simple booking process. In addition, with all transactions managed locally (local language, local currency, local service), Rail Europe guarantees the web shopper a hassle-free booking experience. Ticket delivery is assured in the next 24 working hours and local support is available – both examples of Rail Europe’s added value in the online world.
In a nutshell, these web sites offer all travellers, wherever they are, whatever they need, to enjoy planning, booking and travelling by train in Europe with Rail Europe!
