Low Cost and Amadeus agree tie-up

Lowcosttravelgroup.com is partnering with Amadeus to provide a range of market-leading travel technology solutions.

These include Amadeus Web Services and Amadeus Master Pricer, which is designed to convert fares and shopping enquiries into online sales.

Amadeus also plans to integrate the lowcostbeds XML into its platforms offering more than 4,000 directly negotiated hotels and 250,000 unique properties.

Lowcosttravelgroup.com group operations director Claire Trevis said: “Just because travellers are looking for the best deals doesn’t mean they should have to settle for a second-rate online experience.

“Using Amadeus Web Services, our developers are building the kind of shopping and booking experience that helps our customers find exactly what they need, resulting in higher online sales conversion rates and supporting our continued expansion into the long-haul market.”

Amadeus UK commercial director Scott Davies added: “As the number one investor in new technology and R&D, Amadeus is best placed to work with ambitious companies like Lowcosttravelgroup.com that refuse to risk their future plans on legacy GDSs that fail to meet the needs of today’s online consumers.“At the same time it is clearer than ever that Amadeus is able to offer better connected and smarter technology advantages to its customers.”
