- Agoda pre-paid hotel content now available to travel agents through Amadeus
Agoda pre-paid hotel content now available to travel agents through Amadeus
Pre paid hotel content available from 150,000 properties globally to help prevent corporate out of policy travel bookings. Travel agents all over the world will now be able to view Agoda's content - available at the same price as Agoda's website.
Every employer knows the frustration of having their employees book travel outside of the corporate policy – it’s hard to track, adds costs, and makes it impossible for the employer to provide proper duty of care. According to research fromAmerican Express Global Business Travel ,the top reasons why employees book travel outside of their company’s travel policy has to do with the location of their accommodation – to stay in the same hotel as the as the client, to be closer to the meeting / event location, or to stay in a safer location.
Therefore, to encourage more employees to stay within policy, employers need to ensure their corporate travel provider has good accommodation options. Amadeus and Agoda, one of the world’s fastest growing online travel agents (OTAs), are partnering to solve this problem, giving travel agents access to pre-paid hotel content from 150,000 properties globally.
Travel agents all over the world will now be able to view Agoda’s content – available at the same price as Agoda’s website – and compare it to other content through a single screen, and book the content in one PNR with other content.
Christian Lukey, Head of Hotels, Mobility & Insurance, Asia Pacific, Amadeus said: “This is our first partnership with a B2C company in Asia, and an important one because it will enable travel agents to offer a competitive and seamless service, while reducing costs and increasing efficiency. We are privileged to be the first company to globally distribute Agoda’s diverse selection of hotels to agents and travelers.”
Having access to this hotel content through Amadeus will be especially important for business travel agents, as they will now be able to book Agoda inventory for travelling employees that complies with all the employer’s Duty of Care requirements, and add it to a single PNR with the employee’s other travel arrangements. In addition, Agoda’s content is pre-paid, making it a great option for employees that don’t have a company credit card.
Ernst Hemmer, Senior Director for Agoda said: “This partnership with Amadeus gives Agoda access to the global travel agent market and specifically the business travel sector, which is forecast togrow 5.8 percent annually to reach $1.6 trillion in 2020. Agoda customers enjoy access to a huge variety of hotels, apartments or villas for their holidays and leisure use, and through this partnership will now also be able to access these properties for business travel too. We look forward to working closely with Amadeus in the future and building on this partnership to offer more benefits to travel agents and their customers.”
Agoda is a leading online travel agent offering global content, and especially strong in Asian content, as the company was founded in South East Asia.
