World Travel’s strategic partnership with Air Security
International
provides risk management solutions to corporate travel programs
in need
Fairfax, Va., August 14, 2006 – “Terror Plot Foiled,”
“Fear in the Skies,” “Travelers Resigned
to Tougher Security Measures”—business travelers
can’t escape today’s headlines and face growing,
unprecedented threats. Travel management company Omega World
Travel has partnered with Air Security International to introduce
MegaTrak: a new risk management solution for business people
on the move.
“With heightened danger warnings and security concerns,
the role of travel agent has evolved into one of protector
by providing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week customer assistance
wherever they may be, along with help internationally to ensure
global safety,” said Gloria Bohan, President and CEO
of Omega World Travel. “Both business and leisure travelers
want to continue to travel the world safely, and the added
assurance that we can offer by phone, virtually, and on location
in 70 countries is one role that we gladly fill. Through the
cooperation of ASI, our new travel security solution –
MegaTrak – combines the most advanced security content
and communications features in one package for comprehensive
traveler safety.”
As the Internet and technology leads to new commercial opportunities
in a global economy, businesses expand their markets and more
people travel, facing unfamiliar places with hidden dangers.
The MegaTrak
solution lends peace of mind in a sometimes perilous world.
MegaTrak
(Owt.net/megatrak) effectively tracks en route corporate travelers
in real-time, wherever they are. The solution combines data
from multiple reservation systems, produces special reports
when significant events occur, and offers customized briefings
for hundreds of business destinations. And Omega’s US-staffed
emergency service centers cater to MegaTrak
users’ needs 24-hours a day, providing valuable information
and assistance when it’s needed most.
MegaTrak
is powered by ASI, a leading provider of intelligence and
security services. ASI unique security solutions support the
corporate executive on-the-go and other travelers around the
globe.
“Air Security International (ASI) is proud to be associated
with Omega World Travel in assisting and meeting the needs
of its travelers who travel domestically and internationally,
by air, land, and sea,” said Mark Hall, Vice President
of Business Development for ASI. “Omega’s travel
professionals and ASI’s security professionals have
parlayed their expertise, education, and services in ultimately
benefiting the traveler before, during, and after a trip.”
Developed through real-life travel and security scenarios,
MegaTrak
allows organizations to better manage employees in less time
than ever before:
• Provides travel tracking across the globe

MegaTrak
is part of a suite of corporate travel solutions at MegaRez

for today’s mobile workforce.
Omega World Travel not only leads the corporate travel field
in security management with MegaTrak,
but also offers robust business solutions like group meeting
planning; online booking technology, affinity leisure tours,
and corporate incentive programs.
Mark Hall’s team is in the business of spotting risk
before it happens and his company knows how to prevent it.
“ASI’s goal is to ensure that Omega World Travel’s
MegaTrak
clients are provided information, data, and intelligence that
will significantly reduce the chances of a traveler from becoming
a victim of crime, an act of terror, kidnapping, extortion,
or industrial espionage,” he said.
“Monitoring and tracking through MegaTrak, along with
a caring agent who knows you, is the best traveler assurance
that we can provide,” said Bohan.
