Opodo has added Amadeus to its source of hotels inventory.
The deal brings the number of hotels offered by the pan-European online travel portal to more than 65,000.
The partnership will give the Opodo’s 12 million visitors a month Opodo access to Amadeus’ range of independent and chain hotels in 186 countries.
