By GlobalDataFor travel sellers, Leisure Connect offers the Private Agreements solution, providing real-time rates, availability, and inventory for directly contracted hotels globally.
This feature also allows sellers to personalise their offerings with room preferences, dining options, and additional activities, thereby maximising returns.
Amadeus Value Hotels is another component of the portfolio, offering travel sellers exclusive prepaid net rates and the flexibility to set their selling prices to optimise revenue.
The programme includes more than 600,000 properties.
The centralised Amadeus Travel Platform supports these solutions, streamlining the booking experience.
Within Amadeus Leisure Connect, these components work together enabling sellers to drive profitability, optimise operations, and deliver tailor-made offerings to leisure travellers.
For hotel providers, Leisure Connect offers inventory management, optimised pricing strategies, and ensured rate parity.
The platform provides a suite of services, from content hosting to payment handling and innovative analytics, all aimed at attracting the leisure traveller.
Launch partners of Amadeus Leisure Connect are claimed to value the solution for its scalability, speed to market, and ability to secure exclusive deals.
These features are intended to help both hoteliers and travel sellers meet customer demand and optimise revenue.
