US Tour Operator - Ritz Tours California is implementing ISO’s flagship module OCEAN

ISO is proud to announce a new client in North America: Tour Operator - Ritz Tours is an outbound and receptive tour operator specialized in Tours to Asia, employs more than 80 specialists, and sends thousands of American tourists abroad each year.

Ritz Tours will roll out ISO’s tour operator solution suite OCEAN with a Sabre Retrieve functionality and TRAMS Back Office interface in the first phase of the project. A Sabre Online API and the ISO CRM "Emerald" will be added at the end of 2008. Ritz Tours will also add the ISO Web API "Travel XML" to fulfill its web strategy shortly.
The company processes reservations in its seven offices located in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing and is a member of the USTOA.

Martin Chan, President of Ritz Tours says: "After an exhaustive search for a new reservation system to serve our worldwide offices, Ritz Tours was pleased to select ISO Systems. We found that ISO's reservation system OCEAN was the most versatile, powerful, and adaptable system. Most importantly, in our dealings with the ISO team instilled 100 percent confidence that our migration to a new system would go smoothly. ISO's implementation team was accommodating, professional, and methodical. For any IT project, these traits are an absolute necessity".

Holger Voss, Director of Business Development and head of ISO North America is looking forward to the challenge: "Ritz Tours fits the profile of our typical customer well: Forward-thinking, dynamic, expanding and competitive. As ISO has done several times in Europe, Asia and Arabia and now in North America, we will bring the same level of excellence to this fast-growing tour operator. When more companies know and see what we can offer, ISO can’t be beat. Ritz Tours will be in good company amidst Thomas Cook, Air Canada Vacations, TUI, Emirates Group, Etihad Holidays and our other prominent clients."
