The travel industry is growing significantly and rapidly. In order to be able to be on par with the demands of this industry, it is crucial to adopt the latest technologies across businesses. Keeping this objective in mind, the technology show focused on educating and providing personalised solutions to travel agents.

Jauhar Abdul Gafoor, Sales Director – Abu Dhabi, Al-Ain & Oman, Amadeus Gulf, said: “Amadeus Gulf always focuses on the requirements of our key stakeholders and make available the right solutions that will benefit the travel industry. Amadeus Technology Show falls aptly in line with this objective and provides the ideal platform to showcase the wide array of technology products that are available to our partners and customers.”
The company also talked about Amadeus Selling Platform — its state-of-art booking platform. Amadeus Gulf also demonstrated solutions such as Amadeus Agency Insight which provides the easy way to monitor, manage and optimise performance of the travel agencies business. Also, e-commerce products such as e-Power, Mobile Traveller and web services, as well as robotics solutions such as Touchless Solutions were showcased, which helps agents reduce their manual work and eliminate errors.
Apart from that remote ticketing solution — a fully automated solution designed to manage pricing, price comparison and ticketing in the remote points of sale, simplify cooperation between non-IATA locations making bookings (Subagents) and the IATA travel agencies in charge of fulfillment activities (Consolidators), was presented.
