Amadeus offers new hotel package
Amadeus has launched the Amadeus Hotel Optimisation Package, a portfolio of solutions to help large travel agencies and TMCs save time and have more control over global hotel programmes.
Key capabilities of Amadeus Hotel Dynamic Saver include Last Room Availability, identification of rate squatters and automatic future comparison of negotiated vs. public rates to ensure buyers get the best deal at all times.
With Dynamic Saver, Amadeus said it has consistently identified average achievable savings of 10 percent on total hotel spend for travel agencies and corporations.
For a typical Fortune 500 corporation this implies annual savings of up to A$1.54 million, Amadeus said.
The new package also includes integration of hotel aggregator content.
As the quickest path to integrating the ‘long tail’ of content, Amadeus said it has a strong pipeline of hotel aggregators which are being integrated across all its travel agency point-of-sale solutions.
First to be integrated, in 2011, were Destinations of the World and Transhotel, representing a total inventory of more than 50,000 hotels.
Amadeus LinkHotel is a customised, fast track service that enables integration of specific hotels that are requested by travel agencies and their corporate customers but are currently not bookable on the GDS (for instance, hotels close to remote manufacturing sites which typically would not show on these systems).
Through this service Amadeus already connects more than 6,000 hotels to the GDS universe for real-time reservations.
The Amadeus Hotel Optimisation Package can be contracted as a full package or in modules.
