If you think Diviac was happy to just sit on its laurels after releasing an updated version of its scuba travel booking website, diviac.travel, well, think again.
Diviac announced this week that it had entered into a partnership with TrekkSoft AG, a company that offers online payment solutions for travel companies.
Diviac CEO Joel Perrenoud says:
“We’re very happy about this partnership, which offers dive centers a one-stop solution to grow their online bookings. Diviac Travel allows them to get online bookings from its community of over 200,000 divers in more than 150 countries, while TrekkSoft enables them to get online bookings from their own website. A winning combination for sure!”
TrekkSoft CEO Jon Fauver says:
“The team at TrekkSoft is really excited to be working with Diviac to transform the scuba diving industry. There are so many synergies between the two systems that they fit together like puzzle pieces, with the end result being greater than the sum of the parts. TrekkSoft helps the dive centers manage and run their companies, while Diviac makes sure that all live inventory gets booked.”
More than 450 tour and activity providers worldwide use TrekkSoft, which was founded in 2010. The company says it is on track to generate an online credit card transaction volume of 10 million Swiss Francs/US$10.1 million/9.3 million Euros in 2015.
Under the new partnership, the two companies want to become the go-to providers for marketplace listings and booking software in the scuba diving industry. Combining TrekkSoft‘s management and marketing tools with Diviac‘s marketplace and consumer tools “simplifies the whole ecosystem for both suppliers and consumers. The goal is to have more happy divers having great dives all over the world.”
