Amadeus in the travel chain: booking

Today we are publishing the second video in

Seen it? Did you know that almost 90,000 travel agency points of sale, 59,000 airlines sales offices and 4,500 corporations are using Amadeus products to book travel? And these travel sellers also enjoy access to a huge portfolio of travel content to give their customers more choice.

Our state-of-the-art data centre in Erding, Germany processes all these bookings – more than 650 million travel transactions per year in total – and ensures that the booking stage of the travel chain runs seamlessly.

The world is changing and so is the way we book travel. Ancillary services are fast becoming a key component of new revenue generation for both travel providers and sellers. This technology enables them to sell additional services conveniently and reliably.

Have you got a brilliant idea on how to improve the booking process? If so why not visit our ideas for travel competition website where we are seeking suggestions to make the travel experience better.

The winning entry, as selected by our panel of travel industry figures, will earn €20,000 and the opportunity to positively change the travel experience for all.
