Amadeus has introduced a new booking solution for online players, using Amadeus Cars Plus XML technology.
The company says Cars Plus XML business logic streamlines the messages from Amadeus Web Services, making it easier for online players to offer a range of functionalities to their customers including: map display, matrix view and point of reference searches.
Launch partner Transhotel, a global consolidator of hotels and services for the travel agency community, chose Amadeus Cars to integrate a new cars module on their web portal.
Amadeus Cars Plus is a multi-channel solution, which is already available for traditional travel agencies using Amadeus Selling Platform and now for online players and airlines via the e-Retail XML set of messages.
