Travelocity

Travelocity is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sabre Holdings Corporation, a publicly traded company. Travelocity is based in Southlake, Texas, with additional offices in New York City, San Francisco, and abroad. Travelocity was created in 1996, as a subsidiary of Sabre Holdings. As one of the pioneers of web-based disintermediation, Travelocity.com was the first website that allowed consumers themselves (acting without the help of a travel agent or broker) not only to access Sabre's fare and schedule information, but also to reserve, book, and purchase tickets. In addition to airfares, the site also permits consumers to book hotel rooms, rental cars, cruises, and packaged vacations. Travelocity operates a full-service business agency, Travelocity Business, and comparable websites in Canada, Germany, France, the Scandinavian countries, and the United Kingdom. Other brands include lastminute.com, a last-minute travel technology and content provider, World Choice Travel, a travel affiliate marketing program, and Showtickets.com, a tour and ticket broker in Las Vegas.
