VISA PACT: Viajo.com and Visa International announced a strategic alliance to serve the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking markets over the web. Under terms of the recently signed agreement, say Viajo executives, Visa becomes the preferred method of payment and office sponsor of the portal's "Special Offers" page. Viajo's Enrigue R. Felgueres Jr., president and CEO, called it a "win-win situation for both companies." He said the "Special Offers" page can be accessed by more than 120,000 registered users. ADDED AT SKYBOX: Miami-based Skybox.net this month said it has introduced three services on its trilingual client site — a "total-cost estimator" to calculate merchandise, shipping and customs charges before users buy; a special holiday shopping section targeting Latin American consumers and a Europe Shopping page where consumers can use an address in Madrid to shop online. At this point, says President A.J. Hernandez, Skybox is handling more than 6,000 business-to-consumer shipments weekly to Latin America and the Caribbean. |
