Amadeus is looking to end 2010 on a high note after announcing contract renewals with Freedom Travel in Kildare, Eimer Hannon Travel based in Navan, e-Travel based in Dublin, Harvey Travel from Waterford, and O’Callaghan Travel located in Dundalk town centre.
Despite increasingly researching travel options on the internet, many holidaymakers and business travellers continue to seek out the expert and friendly advice of Irish travel professionals when planning a trip. Amadeus fully supports the travel agency distribution channel by providing fast, reliable access to a wide range of travel content including around 500 bookable airlines, more than 86,000 hotel properties together with car rental, cruise and destination services such as airport lounge access and city tours in locations throughout the world.
Ciara Mooney, Owner and Manager of Freedom Travel said, “As a relatively young agency, I need the backing of a reliable and forward-thinking technology partner. Amadeus fits the bill. My travel consultants appreciate the Amadeus’ ease-of-use and the friendly support of local experts. I don’t believe there is a better solution available for ambitious travel companies like mine.”
Eimer Hannon, Owner and Manager of Eimer Hannon Travel commented, “As a progressive travel agency with big plans for the future, it is important that we work with a technology partner that can help us realise our ambitions. That’s why we are sticking with Amadeus. I like their ‘can-do’ approach to problem-solving and they really understand the issues that boutique travel agents are facing.”
David O’Grady, managing director of www.e-Travel.ie said, “As one of Ireland’s leading independent online travel companies specialising in world-wide online flight, cruises, tailor-made holidays, groups and corporate travel, our customers value the expert advice that we consistently offer, offline as well as online. The combination of personal knowledge and instant access to information including last seat availability through Amadeus has made us a firm favourite with customers as much today as when we started more than a decade ago.”
Volker Lorenz, General Manager, Amadeus Ireland added: “When it comes to travel companies that pride themselves on first class service, we like to think that Amadeus demonstrates the same customer focus. We are convinced that Amadeus offers the best travel technology available, thanks to continuous development in customer research and new product development. Each one of these recent contract renewals show that our customers share our conviction and determination to continue serving the needs of the travelling public.”
