SINGAPORE – Amadeus has unwrapped the Amadeus Hotel Store in Asia Pacific, offering travel agencies access to hotel consolidator content and delivering upfront payments for both the hotel and the travel agent.
Transhotel, a global hotel consolidator with more than 50,000 hotels in its portfolio, is Amadeus’ launch partner.
Amadeus said it was “a significant new development as clawing back commission has traditionally been a very time-consuming, burdensome processâ€.
The Amadeus Hotel Store is displayed as a new tab on the Selling Platform and will be available for travel agencies at no additional cost.
It shares the Personal Name Record (PNR) and is fully integrated onto Amadeus’ GDS, providing a uniform flow of information to the travel agency’s mid-and back-office functionalities in the Amadeus Selling Platform.
The solution also enables the traveller to view his or her complete itinerary on www.checkmytrip.com.
The Amadeus Hotel Store will be rolled out in markets across Asia Pacific, beginning with Australia, New Zealand and China.
