August 20, 2014: TravelDaily , China’s leading online publisher and event organizer with emphasis on distribution, marketing and technology in the travel and tourism industries, welcomes Amadeus as a sponsor for the TravelDaily Conference 2014 in Shanghai on September3-4.
Amadeus provides the technology that keeps the travel sector moving - from initial search to making a booking, from pricing to ticketing, from managing reservations to managing check-in and departure processes.
Our ambition is to facilitate the entire travel journey from door-to-door, in the process of improving the travel experience for hundreds of millions of people every year.
Amadeus does this by connecting key players in the travel industry: travel agencies, corporations, airlines, airports, hotels, railways and more. We give those companies the technology to serve travellers better and to manage their own business more effectively.
While most global industry leaders are charting their courses cautiously, some are looking at creating exciting new opportunities or entering new markets in the midst of the crisis. China remains the hotspot of the world's travel market by achieving a 13.6% growth rate in the number of domestic travelers 2013. China's air traffic also exceeded an 11.7% growth rate on a year-to-year basis.
Just how different are current entry strategies, and what tactics offer the best chance at making a real breakthrough in the China market and navigating through this challenging time? How are travel and tourism organizations collaborating to enhance market share and to revitalize the tourism and travel economy?
Over 750 C-level executives and senior management leaders from travel industry will take center stage at the TravelDaily Conference from September3 to 4, 2014 to address the core issues affecting the heart of travel industry. Be part of this distinguished gathering and be instrumental in facilitating new ideas and driving improvements for the hotel industry.
Mr. Bart Tompkins, Managing Director of Amadeus Greater China will share his insights during a keynote presentation on how travel agencies in China can leverage technology to manage the next billion travellers in China on 3 September.
“We are delighted to have Amadeus as our sponsor. We believe that they will provide a unique perspective on how the travel industry in China can leverage new technologies now being introduced to the travel agency community thanks to the change in CRS regulations, said Charlie Li, CEO of TravelDaily. “The event will address the hottest topics in China's travel industry, demonstrate how to maximize learning and communicate opportunities for industry executives from leading companies such as Amadeus. It’s not to be missed!
