AIR Sourcing
ATPI Marine & Energy's strategy is designed to deliver full content to our clients
regardless of booking via an offline team, or on an online booking tool. Through our
proprietary technology, online booking tools and processes we make sure our clients
have access to full content. We have private channel agreements with the major carriers
that have chosen a multi-channel approach to distribution. Added to this we have
developed access through Travelfusion to ensure we have the ability to offer non-GDS
and NDC content globally, across both offline and online channels.

The ATPI team will review published fares, airline websites, ''client'' contracted fares,
ATPI negotiated fares and where applicable industry specific fares, including renewable,
marine & energy fares. This approach teamed with our technology and fares team will
ensure that ''client'' always receive the lowest logical fares available at the time of
request.

We achieve the best fares and provide our clients with genuine savings through the
provision of our robust airfare sourcing technology as detailed on next slide:
Airfare sourcing technology
Global Availability Database
Airlines manage their seat inventory to maximise the yield of each flight. They do this by changing availability in different geographical markets depending on the local demand on each route. This is done on a flight by flight
basis. ATPI's proprietary technology allows our consultants to view the differences in availability throughout our network, on a single screen, meaning we can instantly see availability in a multitude of markets. This provides
significant savings for our customers, as the price difference between classes on a flight can be substantial.

ATPI FareViewer
FareViewer is a global airfares database that provides access to view all content available, through our global contracts and local content. ATPI's FareViewer allows our consultants to access all content from their system,
wherever they are located.

Waitlist Watcher
Where a booking class is waitlisted by the airlines, we monitor if the class is reopened by using our proprietary technology ‘Waitlist Watcher’. This is an automated script to prompt the GDS (Global Display System) for returning
seats on the requested route. The system checks the GDS by default for a minimum of four times per hour, 24/7 until the date of departure. Seat inventory is often returned close to the departure date, for example if duplicate
bookings are made or other passengers select alternative flights. We can then catch this returned inventory before other agents, most of which who do this manually, and the system automatically books the seat for our
customer.

Fares Team
Our dedicated and experienced Fares Team specialises in reviewing complex bookings by searching for fare savings using their expertise. As standard the team review various opportunities to identify savings, examples include;
splitting tickets, combining different trips and reviewing codeshares. The team work closely with our consultants to identify saving opportunities and through an automated process continuously search for saving opportunities
on all relevant bookings. Rest assured that we exhaust all options to drive further savings, prior to the trip taking place.
Hotel sourcing
ATPI's global access and reach to hotel content is significant. We understand that there are several channels to access hotel
rates, and our hotel booking tools have the capability to access both GDS and non GDS content, meaning that ''client'' have full
visibility of what is available in the market including B&B's and smaller hotel chains.

We integrate with several well-known aggregators such as Booking.com and Expedia, ensuring all options are exhausted to
provide ''client'' with the best possible hotel rates.

Unlike most Travel Management companies, we do not push ''preferred'' properties for our own gain, instead we are transparent
and provide a full overview of what is available in the market place.

Our key differentiators include:

✓ Transparency - We support non-commissionable rates and will advise when rates are commissionable.

✓ Transparency - We will provide an overview of all available rates regardless of the request being made offline or online.

✓ Focus on your hotel strategy/programme, with the ability to benchmark against your peers to ensure you have the best
rates.

for ''client''.

aspects of your travel programme. Our Passport and Visa team look after over 200 corporate customers and have over 35 years’
