Amadeus travel agents can now seamlessly book
19,000 global tours and activities in real-time thanks to a deal
with Livn that initially covers the Australia and New Zealand
markets.
The connection enables agents to instantly book
a selection of
tours and activities around the globe from hundreds of leading suppliers like Intrepid Group, G Adventures, Disney, Gray Line,
Pro-Dive and Tourism Holdings.
“This partnership with
Amadeus is a breakthrough that dramatically expands our travel
agency distribution footprint and is great news for our partners,”
said Livn co-founder Steve Martinez. “We have managed to
automate the entire tours and activities booking process within
the existing Amadeus workflow with instant confirmations and
ticketing being returned in seconds.”
Tony Carter, Managing
Director at Amadeus IT Pacific, said the Livn integration
represents a major opportunity for agents to satisfy client demand
for in-destination experiences while earning additional
commissions.
“Until now the fragmented nature of the tour
and activity business has always made it difficult for travel
agents to book these products,” said Mr Carter. “But that’s
all changed with the Livn integration. It’s part of a
seamless booking process that gives agents the products and tools
to not only cross-sell and upsell, but also give consumers what
they want when they want it without the hassle of trying to book
the trip by themselves.”
