How does Emirtech support Abu Dhabi travel agencies and tour operators?
The Abu Dhabi travel catchment combines IATA-accredited travel agencies, outbound and inbound tour operators, destination management companies (DMCs), corporate-travel specialists, holiday-package operators, ticketing offices and the supporting travel-services ecosystem. The catchment serves growing UAE outbound travel demand, inbound tourism into Abu Dhabi and the corporate-travel arrangements across Abu Dhabi mainland and free-zone businesses. Emirtech serves travel agencies and tour operators commercially with: Microsoft 365 with MFA and Defender for sensitive customer data (passports, identity documents, travel records); endpoint EDR; FortiGate / Sophos firewall with VLAN segmentation; ADMCC-approved CCTV at office reception and customer-facing areas; third-party M365 backup; biometric access to document storage; business Wi-Fi; structured cabling; IP-PBX for customer service and ticketing call handling; boardroom AV for tour-operator briefing rooms; PDPL technical readiness for sensitive customer data (passports, identity documents are highly sensitive). For agencies handling card payments (most do for ticket / package payments), POS networking on segmented VLAN with PCI-aligned working practices. Emirtech is not a travel-software vendor (Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport, Galileo, Worldspan operate the GDS platforms; agency-management software is operated by the agency and vendor); not IATA-accredited; not affiliated with any specific travel brand. We deliver the underlying technical infrastructure that travel agencies run on top of. As a security and IT systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) based in Mussafah M44 since 2018, we serve Abu Dhabi travel agencies and tour operators commercially.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you support Amadeus, Sabre or other GDS platforms?
We deliver the network and infrastructure that GDS platforms run on top of — secure office IT, M365, EDR, firewall and supporting IT. The GDS platforms themselves (Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport, Galileo, Worldspan) are operated by the GDS provider and the customer's GDS subscription. We are not an Amadeus / Sabre / Travelport partner.
Are you IATA-accredited?
No. IATA accreditation applies to travel agencies handling airline ticketing — it is granted by IATA to the agency, not to IT integrators. Emirtech is an independent security and IT systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) — we serve IATA-accredited travel agencies on a commercial basis.
How do you handle PDPL for customer passports and IDs?
Travel agencies handle highly sensitive customer data — passports, identity documents, payment cards. We deliver MFA enforced on every user, BitLocker encryption on laptops, encryption at rest on file shares, EDR on every endpoint, role-based access to document storage, biometric / card access to physical document storage, and logging — aligned to PDPL technical readiness. See our PDPL Controls page.
Can you handle high call volumes for travel-agency customer service?
Yes. 3CX, Yeastar or Microsoft Teams Phone with appropriate sizing for customer-service call volume; call queue, IVR, recording for quality; CRM integration where the agency's CRM supports it. Telephone lines and numbers come from du or e&, and Emirtech is not a telecom licensee.
Do you handle card payments / POS for travel agencies?
Yes. POS networking on segmented VLAN with PCI-aligned working practices for card-handling — supporting payment for ticket / package purchases. See our PCI-DSS Technical Controls page for scope (we are not a QSA).
How do I get a quote for a travel agency project?
Call +971 55 651 7843 or request a free travel agency consultation. Share your agency type, headcount and current IT. A specialist will respond with a scoped proposal once the survey is done.
