Travelport is targeting a number of major milestones over the course of the next three years - outside of the core GDS segment of the business.
The company's interest in payment services is hoped to be a $500 million revenue part of the business by 2021.
CEO Gordon Wilson, speaking to PhocusWire following the release of Travelport's full year financial results for 2017, says the eNett brand increased its revenue over the course of the year to $194 million, a jump of 29%.
This year-over-year growth, he explains, is forecast to continue until at least 2021 when it passes the half a billion dollar per year level.
Similar expectations are being levelled at the company's Beyond Air (hospitality, digital and other non-air services) revenue stream, which should account for a third of the overall pie by the same year.
The segment's revenue increased by 27% during 2017 compared to 2016, with 30% growth in the final quarter of the year.
Wilson concedes that the Beyond Air growth figure has fallen away slightly in 2017 (it increased by 18% in 2016), although this is due in part to the end of its partnership with Flight Centre - a deal which included technology services in 1,700 agency locations, primarily in Australia and New Zealand.
Still, Wilson says the company is targeting growth areas elsewhere in Asia Pacific to counteract the loss of its major client in 2017, in particular looking at online-focused businesses in India, Singapore and Indonesia - the latter of which is one of fastest-growing markets in the region.
Travelport raised revenue by 4% year over year in 2017 to $2.45 billion.
Adjusted EBITDA over the same period climbed by 3% to $590 million, with cash flow reaching $200. The company paid off $120 million of its debt over the course of the year, giving it a net total of $2.2 billion at the end of 2017.
The company is looking for somewhere in the region of 4% to 6% revenue growth in 2018, Wilson says, bringing it in the region of $2.54 billion to $2.59 billion.
Guidance on adjusted EBITDA is between a shortfall of 1% and an increase of 3%.
