Amadeus and Carlson implement Direct Connect
Amadeus and Carlson Hotels Worldwide have enabled a Direct Connect system, giving the hotel group a faster, more flexible, efficient and reliable interface, and providing a more accurate booking process for travel agencies.
The connection, based on the OpenTravel Alliance’s XML, standards (www.opentravel.org), uses the most advanced, open technology. The new connection will enable Amadeus and Carlson to implement new features and enhancements more quickly, saving time and improving the quality of their content in the Amadeus’ system. The Direct Connect allows both companies to proactively develop new offers that keep pace with the demands of travellers today and in the years to come.
Christine Brosnahan, Vice President of Distribution & Reservation Services for Carlson Hotels Worldwide, commented; “Having a direct connection will enable us to add content on a timelier basis and provide functionality that travel agents seek to enable an easier selling process.”
