Amadeus, a leading provider of technology and distribution solutions to the travel and tourism industry, announces three significant customer wins from leading travel agents in Ireland. Lee Travel, Limerick Travel, and Travelpaths are switching from competitor providers, bringing with them a significant proportion of the Irish travel market.
In addition to the new clients, Heffernan’s, a long-standing customer of Amadeus, has also re-signed a long term deal. Heffernan’s opted to use the Amadeus Selling Platform over reservations systems of Amadeus’ rivals.
Αccording to Volker Lorenz, General Manager of Amadeus Ireland: "We have built up a lot of momentum again in the last few months. The size, scale, and stature of these clients – new and existing – is testament to our approach in ensuring we meet our meet our clients’ needs in every respect. I thank all of them for their commitment to Amadeus."
"Our Q4 success is not only testament to the continually evolving technology that we provide to our customers, but also to our local relationships and customer support here in Ireland. We’ve invested a lot of time and money building our team and we believe it is both – our cutting-edge technology and our unique presence in Ireland – which have really been crucial to consolidating our position."
Declan O’Connell, owner of Lee Travel, commented, “It’s always a difficult decision on whether to migrate to a new system as the GDS is at the heart of everything we do. However, with the proven success that Amadeus has had with past migrations, we knew that this was right for the business in the long-term. We look forward to a long and rewarding partnership with Amadeus in the future.”
Tony Brazil, owner of Limerick Travel, commented: “The local support that Amadeus provides in Ireland really sets them apart from the competition. Their technology is incredibly good, and we know that with their investment in the region, we have a long term partner we can work with.”
Kieran Collins, owner of Heffernan’s Travel, commented: “Heffernan’s Travel decision to re-sign with Amadeus is very easy to understand as Amadeus are the leading technology provider, with great local support and helpdesk.”
