Kuoni has put back the launch of its multi-destination web platform until the new year to enable the operator to test the online product.


Matt Rooke, Senior e-business manager for the tour operator, said a slight delay in finalising its long haul programmes was responsible.


It will now launch its US dynamic packaging technology on January 9, with its Australia product going live a week later.


“We had wanted it to be operational for the start of the peak booking period but the product is still being set up and it hasn’t given us time to test the technology,” said Rooke.


“The programmes will go on sale offline early next week and online within the first two weeks of January.”


The technology will enable customers to book complex, round-the-world itineraries.
