Amadeus has partnered DerbySoft, a
Shanghai-headquartered technology company creating next generation
online hotel distribution infrastructures, to offer travel agents
and travellers access to more independent and mid-range Chinese
hotels through Amadeus. The same is now available to Amadeus
Travel agency subscribers as Distinguished Hotels under chain-code
DB.
Ted Zhang, CEO of DerbySoft, said, “Our
partnership with Amadeus has made it simple for international
travellers to book DerbySoft hotels through their travel agents.
With the full range of DerbySoft Hotel content now ‘live’ and
easily accessible on the Amadeus distribution system, it is easier
than ever for travellers to find a hotel to suit their individual
needs and budget.”
More than
103,000 travel agencies in the Amadeus network will now be able to
make bookings with DerbySoft three-star independent hotels located
across China. This connectivity to Amadeus enables Derbysoft’s
hotels to rapidly add content and rates, implement new features
and enhancements, as well as develop offers more quickly. This not
only allows hotels but also travel agents to meet the
fast-changing demands of today’s travellers.
Kartikeya Tripathi, Regional Director of Hotel Distribution,
Amadeus Asia Pacific, said, “China received over 21.9 million
foreign visitors in 2009, and is expected to record further growth
in tourism of up to four-percent in 2010. Amadeus sees great
potential in the future of China’s travel and tourism industry. We
are committed to delivering more travel options for Chinese and
international travellers, while at the same time helping China’s
travel and hospitality industry reach out to global markets.”
