Over 130 Hotel Brands offer Best Available Rate through Amadeus
Amadeus, a global leader in technology and distribution solutions for the travel and tourism industry, has signed over 130 major hotel brands up to its Best Available Rate programme. Hotels which have signed up to the programme have seen their bookings through Amadeus grow by between 10% and 30%. Travel agents and corporations can be confident that hotel rates in Amadeus are as good as, or better than, hotel rates in other distribution systems...
"Today’s travellers need fast solutions to their travel enquiries, and it is crucial that our agents can respond quickly to customer requests,” said Jackie Tong, Managing Director, Travelux Hong Kong. “With Amadeus Best Available Rate our agents can feel comfortable they have access to the best hotel rates, eliminating the need for time-consuming searches across a range of channels. This will in turn free them up to concentrate on attending to a customer’s other travel needs instead."
Kiyoe Nonaka, General Manager, Reservation & Sales Division for NOE Corp., a leading travel agency in Japan, also endorsed the programme saying, “Our agents need to have confidence in the rates they find so they can spend time understanding and serving our customers' needs – not wasting time looking for the best rate. Amadeus' Best Available Rate programme gives us that confidence and we encourage our agents to book on hotels which subscribe to the programme."
Amadeus Best Available Rate gives travel agents the confidence that the rates they see in Amadeus are the same as, or better than, the rates they would find elsewhere.
Bruno des Fontaines, head of Amadeus’ hotel technology and distribution business in Asia Pacific, said, “We are encouraged to see that both the hotels and the travel agents are able to share such vital data across our distribution channels. With many mediums available to travellers, it is important that hotels and other key partners in the industry, like travel agents, are working together to optimise their opportunities and sales volume.”
