Amadeus
has signed an exclusive five-year deal with Global Marine Travel. The new partnership will enable 6 GMT locations
worldwide to access the Amadeus Selling Platform, a browser-based point-of-sale platform that provides travel agents with a wider selection
of flights at the most competitive prices when making customer bookings.
Amadeus Selling
Platform's distribution technology and travel content is designed to help travel agents to increase revenues, work more
efficiently and improve customer service. The flight schedules of more than 790 global airlines are available on the platform, of which 508 are
readily saleable.
Three hundred and twelve of these airlines participate at the highest access level that allows travel agents to secure sales in real-time the
way they would if they were using the airline's own system to make bookings. In addition, 209 airlines update their schedules in Amadeus in
real-time, providing travel agents with the most up-to-date and accurate flight information.
Tim Davey, President of GMT, said,
"We are confident that our partnership with Amadeus will create significant value for GMT in terms of
streamlining our booking processes, increasing our market share and reaching new customers in Asia. In addition, our agents will be able to
provide a more comprehensive service to our customers with more options to suit their travel
needs"
In the Philippines, InterArgo PH INC, an IATA accredited travel agency that specializes in marine, off-shore and cruise crew travel solutions,
is entering into corporate and leisure travel in the acquisition of GMT. It will be responsible for quality control on all GMT-issued tickets
worldwide. This development will increase InterArgo's revenue through new global accounts.
