GALLANT TOUR CORP. / GALLANT TOUR WEST CORP. International airticket distribution Japan has access to many airlines with destinations spanning the globe. So many so it is hard for the 11,000-odd travel agents in Japan to arrange independent bookings with all the airlines in order to sell international airtickets. Gallant Tour collectively addresses the needs of these small agents by booking and issuing airtickets and handling payments on consignment basis. As an IATA(International Air Transport Association) registered agent, we are one of the 300 or so travel agents in Japan authorized to sell international airtickets. But faced with demanding purchase conditions, cash flow difficulties and complex payment procedures, even authorized agents out-source tickets. Gallant Tour utilizes its specialized knowledge in airticketing and travel services to distinguish itself as a leader in travel service outsourcing with a steadily increasing annual turnover. Airticketing sales are projected to reach 40 billion yen in fiscal 2008. 　Travel Vision, Inc.
