Subscription Sale Model for Travel Grows Globally as CTS Now Sees 63% of Transactions Outside the US

South Carolina, USA – 7 October 2024 – Custom Travel Solutions (CTS), the software-as-a-service private-label platform for closed-user groups such as membership organizations & loyalty programs to sell travel,  is seeing significant international growth, with 63% of its transactions now taking place outside of the United States.
