At Amadeus, we believe travel is inherently transformative. It’s all about creating connections with new people and new places to challenge ourselves to see life from a new perspective. Travel is also a catalyst for positive impact, and as a global company with global reach, we believe it’s our collective responsibility to protect and improve the local communities where we live and work.
That’s why this year, we’re especially proud of the 365 volunteers who signed up for our Tech4Impact skills-based volunteering initiative during Amadeus Volunteer Month, which is a flagship initiative within our Community Impact program. These Amadeus employees applied their skills and expertise to help more than 22 non-profit organizations with 27 different projects all over the world.
To make the most impact, Tech4Impact volunteers leveraged their expertise in travel and technology to help NGOs from all over the world with their technical challenges. NGO profiles varied from sustainable travel and environmental impact to digital inclusion and education, or crisis response and social impact, to employability in travel and technology.
In France we helped Travel With A Mission create two new platforms and improve existing ones to help connect travelers with volunteer opportunities abroad.
In India, our volunteering engineers developed a Generative AI tool for the GiftAbled Foundation to provide children with disabilities suggestions for training or job opportunities they can apply for.
In Colombia, hackathon volunteers helped Inspiring Girls improve its webpage design and add a new donation feature to expand reach of girls looking for positive role models in various professions.
For Airlink - a global humanitarian organization that delivers critical aid to communities in crisis - hackathon volunteers streamlined their valuation process so it could improve its operations support to most critical communities.
for the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (WSHA), Amadeus volunteers built an AI chatbot for faster sustainability answers, a smart translation tool to enable global training, and a financial reporting system.
That’s just a small slice of the different projects Amadeus Tech4Impact volunteers delivered.
After Tech4Impact projects were delivered, the response from non-profit leaders was overwhelmingly positive.
“The level of engagement of the team members to the task was jaw dropping.”
Ludovic Hubler CEO, Travel With a Mission
“It was a great experience for us and we are extremely grateful to the team. They were always positive and solutions‑oriented, and the tools are truly user‑friendly. We would like to thank Amadeus for the solutions provided, they will help us expand our reach and inclusivity and accelerate our mission to advance Net Positive Hospitality globally. Thank you!”
Glenn Mandziuk CEO, World sustainable hospitality alliance
Our success was no accident - it was by design. Technical excellence is part of our DNA and we must thank our incredible engineering community and organizing team who worked together to design our initiative for maximum impact. We are also grateful to our global partner Tech To The Rescue involved in non-profit organization sourcing.

Transformational impact means embedding sustainability into everything we do and ensuring travel remains a force for positive social and environmental change.
This is just one of the ways that we’re helping transform how travel works and shaping a more sustainable future for everyone.

The Amadeus Community Impact Program is a company-wide initiative designed to spark positive change in local communities by addressing social and environmental challenges. It encourages employees to volunteer their time and skills, focusing on advancing digital inclusion, building skills for jobs in travel and tourism, and supporting destinations. The program offers a strategic framework for volunteering, partnerships, and charitable giving, empowering employees to make a meaningful difference where they live and work.
Amadeus Volunteer Month is a flagship initiative within the Community Impact Program, held annually to mobilize employees worldwide in a variety of volunteering activities. During this month, employees can dedicate up to 16 hours to volunteering, joining global and local projects that support vulnerable groups, promote digital inclusion, and help build skills for jobs in travel and tourism. Participation is open to all employees, who can sign up for activities through internal platforms like Benevity.
Tech4Impact is a global skills-based volunteering hackathon where Amadeus employees use their technical and professional expertise to help nonprofit organizations tackle real-world challenges. Volunteers collaborate with NGOs to design and implement digital solutions—such as apps, chatbots, and dashboards—that drive social impact. The initiative is part of Amadeus Volunteer Month and exemplifies how employees can turn their skills into transformational change.
Tech4Impact has delivered tangible results for nonprofits worldwide, including new digital platforms, AI tools, and improved management systems. According to post-project surveys, 100% of participating NGOs reported gaining access to skilled IT experts and solutions they otherwise couldn’t obtain, and 80% reached more beneficiaries and improved their confidence with technology. The initiative has empowered NGOs to expand their reach and deliver greater value to their communities.
