Travel agents are being offered free personalised travel information via a new US-based website.

Travelscream.com is utilising web-based Really Simple Syndication (RSS) technology to enable agents to request specific travel industry information.

The content is continuously updated and delivered to the agent's computer desktop

Travelscream.com founder Tom Griffin said: 'The inspiration for creating travelscream.com came from the realisation that RSS technology could be applied to the travel agent community and would provide a more streamlined and efficient approach for agents to gather the travel information they needed.

'Currently, agents are literally bombarded with material coming from virtually every segment of the destination travel industry�whether they want it or not.'

Travel content for travelscream.com is provided by industry partners, including travel news, deals, and special announcements in a variety of holiday categories.

Travelscream.com will offer an automated FAM trip booking engine and a travel agent rewards programme is also being developed. "
