Press Release:
Amadeus Launches Hotel Group Booking for Agents Powered by Group Travel Planet
 Photo Caption: Scott Harness, CEO Group Travel Planet. Amadeus subscribers in the U.S. and Canada will benefit from Group Travel Planet's inventory of more than 10,000 hotels and its exclusive partnership with the American Bus Association by securing group discounts for their customers and receiving a full travel agent commission. With automated tools for rooming lists, individual or group payment options and system-generated alerts for important deadlines, Group Travel Planet acts like an agent's assistant and manages the entire group reservation process. "Group Travel Planet has built a desirable network of hotel suppliers that offer special group rates available to our agents and their customers, just in time for the busy summer travel season," said Bob Lowry, Senior Vice President of Product Management and Support for Amadeus North America. "By making it as easy to book a group in a hotel as it is to book an individual room, Amadeus agents and travelers will benefit from the savings Group Travel Planet provides in both time and money." "More than 36 billion dollars were spent domestically on group travel in 2002 and one-third of that was from travel agents who booked small groups," said Scott Harness, CEO of Group Travel Planet. "We've automated every step of the online group hotel booking process from the search and confirmation to the addition and subtraction of rooms, and much more, so that agents can focus less on these tasks and more on serving their customers." Group Travel Planet's hotel inventory will be accessible through Amadeus' innovative Amadeus AgentNet, the company's Web-based platform for travel agencies that provides efficient access to a rich array of integrated products and services and bridges the gap between 'brick and mortar' travel agencies and the Internet.
