Augmentation Travel (Fang Cang Group) and Amadeus have entered into a partnership which will support the technology innovation needed for Augmentation Travel to better serve its clients domestically across China and internationally.
With corporate clients which including China State-owned enterprises (SOEs) and large private owned enterprises (POEs), Augmentation Travel’s customers can now shop and book hospitality content via the Amadeus Travel Platform. They will benefit from working on the same platform that over one million properties use – from hotel chains to aggregators and other leading accommodation providers, giving them unrivalled access to real-time rates and the content they need to serve their customers. Accommodation types range from five-star hotels to B&Bs to managed apartments. A variety of different business models and payment options are available.
Seven Wu, CEO of Augmentation Travel (Fang Cang Group) said: “We are delighted to build up a strategic long-term partnership with Amadeus. By having a strong supply of room availability with hotels across China, we have served hundreds of SOEs and thousands of POEs in China over the past several years. China is one of the world’s largest markets for business travel and the Amadeus Travel Platform will be a cornerstone in the expansion of our travel management business this year and beyond.”
Brian Chien, Senior Vice President, Greater China & Mongolia, Travel Distribution, Amadeus said: “Despite the popular use of conferencing options, meeting face to face for business relations and networking has always been essential in China. As corporate travel management services become an important tool for SOEs in China, our partnership with Augmentation Travel will connect us with more China SOEs to support their business travel management needs to get their employees back on the road safely.”
The Amadeus Travel Platform is built on open systems, harnessing intelligent use of data and integrating new interfaces and architectures. Processing 100K+ end-user transactions per second at peak, end-user transactions can include anything from a low fare search to a credit card authorization request.
