Hotel booking agency HRS has signed a deal with Amadeus to make its entire portfolio available to users of the global distribution system.
HRS says over 50,000 of the properties it works with – mainly independent hotels – have not previously been available on the GDS but will now be an option for travel management companies and large corporate clients who typically rely on the chain hotel sector for their accommodation needs.
Work has already begun to integrate HRS’ content with the second quarter of the year the target for completion, giving Amadeus customers access to the new inventory through both its e-Travel Management self-booking tool and the Amadeus Selling Platform.
"HRS is the ideal partner to complement Amadeus’ current hotel proposition to bookers,” says Francisco Pérez-Lozao, vice president new businesses, Amadeus.
“With its extremely broad range of hotels, HRS superbly complements the Amadeus hotel portfolio offering our customers simple access to more than 50,000 hotels which were exclusively distributed through HRS up to now.”
