Amadeus expands travel audience advertising platform to Asia Pacific

To help, Amadeus, a leading technology partner for the global travel industry, has launched travel audience in Asia Pacific. travel audience enables travel advertisers to place highly targeted dynamic ads on travel sites, such as travel information web pages or search results of travel metasearch websites. The platform has over 300 advertisers on board including both the Ministry of Environment and Tourism of Mongolia and Chubu Centrair International Airport, Nagoya Japan. It works mostly, but not exclusively, with a rapidly growing customer base of leading travel agencies, tourism boards but also with top airlines and hotels to help them reach millions of travelers.

Tiago Morais de Relvao, Head of travel audience, Asia Pacific, said: “Amadeus sits at the heart of the travel industry, working with hundreds of airlines, airports, hotels, travel agents, rail operators and Destination Marketing Organizations on a daily basis. This means we have a unique advantage when it comes to reaching travelers through our travel audience platform. We’re looking forward to helping brands and advertisers across Asia Pacific reach millions of active travel searchers. We can reach them on any channel across any device, and throughout the different stages of the traveler journey from inspiration, research, booking, and when they travel. By combining Amadeus’ data and segments to target a custom travel audience, we’re able to help our customers increase their revenue across the region through targeted digital advertising.”

The travel audience offerings (Native and Programmatic Advertising placement), work by identifying and optimizing portals that have qualified travel traffic, which is when the consumer browsing the web is likely to have high booking intent or high interest in the product being advertised. Such web portals are then added to travel audience network of publishers. travel audience then uses this publisher network to place adverts for its customers, in order to target their specific agreed audiences.

The platform combines millions of relevant data sets, interpreted through machine learning and provides a unique inventory and exclusive placement on the top 500 travel publishers (OTAs, metasearch etc.).
