Amadeus has introduced its Amadeus Hotel Store in the UK, with hotels consolidator Transhotel as its launch partner.
The ‘store’ is a gateway to consolidated hotel content and will be displayed as a new tab in Amadeus Selling Platformfor travel agencies.
Amadeus said it seamlessly integrates 50,000 hotel consolidator properties in the booking process, and is available for travel agencies without any charge.
