Firms seek to improve the door-to-door travel experience CHANTILLY, Va., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- FLO Corporation, a next-generation Registered Traveler (RT) services provider today announced an agreement with Hickory Travel Systems for distribution of FLO's RT 2.0, multi-tiered membership program. The agreement combines Hickory's extensive network of best-in-breed travel management companies with FLO's travel team, the most seasoned in the RT industry. FLO offers a RT solution that innovates on an open platform developed during the U.S. Transportation Security Administration's pilot programs. FLO's customer-centric model is designed to offer RT members multiple tiers of benefits that can improve their convenience and productivity throughout the door-to-door travel experience, not just in the security lane. FLO's marketing results validate this multi-price-point model, which importantly, broadens the marketplace appeal of RT and reduces the risk of slow airport enrollment results. Hickory, founded in 1976, is an international consortium of more than 350 travel management companies and is a partner of a global network representing over $17 billion in annual volume. From its early beginnings as a traditional travel agency consortium, Hickory today offers both full membership as well as 'a la carte programs, resulting in a value proposition second to none. As a result, Hickory provides products and services at economies of scale pricing -- all designed to mitigate their partners' risks while enhancing competitive advantage. "Through its analysis process, Hickory recognized FLO's commitment to this new industry and its open RT 2.0 platform. This will no doubt be well received by Hickory's partners and their customers. It's exciting to be at the forefront of this new industry that will improve the end-to-end experience for our customers," said Bill Chiles, Hickory Chairman and CEO. Donna Gutierrez, FLO Vice President, Corporate Sales, stated, "We are pleased to partner with a company of the caliber of Hickory. Its excellent management team, partner focus and global reach make it an ideal distribution partner. FLO is providing a very competitive discount structure, but we believe that success in the RT industry will not come by building its own brand, but rather by helping extend our partners' brands and by strengthening their customer relationships."
