Inntopia announced today it has been selected by Amadeus, a leading travel technology partner and transaction processor for the global travel and tourism industry, to power its ski channel for users of Amadeus Vacation Link, the one-stop booking portal that enables leisure travel agents in the U.S. and Canada to book high-profit, commissionable vacation travel.
"With this agreement, Amadeus Vacation Link agents will have direct access to a wide variety of lodging, activity and transportation options not available elsewhere," says Inntopia CEO Trevor Crist. "We are very pleased that Amadeus has selected Inntopia as their mountain vacation channel, and know that Inntopia users will be pleased with the additional sales that Vacation Link agents will bring them."
This agreement will give Vacation Link users access to comprehensive ski packages in the most popular ski destinations throughout the US and Canada. In addition to hotels, condos and vacation rentals, this agreement gives agents access to airport shuttles, lift passes, ski school, equipment rentals, any of which can be booked a la carte, or as part of a package.
Beginning this summer Amadeus travel agents in the U.S. and Canada using Amadeus Vacation Link can access and book Ski and Mountain Vacation channel content.
"Amadeus has an ongoing commitment to assuring our North American agents have the content they need to enhance their customers' travel experience as well as their agency's bottom-line. That is why we are pleased to partner with Inntopia to bring ski and mountain vacation options and opportunities to their Vacation Link desktop," said Tom Cates, Chief Commercial Officer, Amadeus North America.
The Inntopia platform also gives agents access to popular summer activities and attractions in these same mountain destinations. Whitewater rafting, zipline treks, golf, fishing guides, and mountain biking are just some of the options available. Agent commissions are processed by Inntopia as well, through their own commission clearing house.
The Inntopia system is the leading advanced reservation platform for the snow-sports industry, powering ski resorts, tour operators, and travel suppliers. Travel providers manage their rates and availability directly in the Inntopia system, or connect through one of the many Property Management and Point of Sale interfaces available.
