Amadeus Enhances Destination Content

Amadeus is entering into an exclusive partnership with Greenville-based 10Best to provide its travel agent customers with top-rated destination information and booking-friendly content.

The partnership enables Amadeus to integrate 10Best´s content into the Amadeus Selling Platform (Vista) desktop, offering agents in the U.S. and Canada the ability to provide their customers with objective recommendations for local travel and leisure options and booking-friendly events tailored by destination.

10Best provides travel guides highlighting a city´s top sights, hotels, restaurants, clubs and shops as well as booking-friendly content, such as tickets for concerts, sporting events, sightseeing tours and ground transportation.

With booking 10Best´s content, agents will be eligible for commissions of up to five percent. Commissionable transactions are managed directly by 10Best and can be integrated into the agent´s back office accounting systems for commission tracking and reporting purposes.

Amadeus plans to integrate 10Best destination content into Amadeus´ corporate online booking tool, Amadeus E-Travel Management. Planned features include the ability to provide business travelers with one-stop shopping access to destination content. Information from select listings and reservations can be text-messaged to the traveler´s mobile device, and content is stored in the traveler´s trip summary in Amadeus E-Travel Management for future reference.
