Over 150 travel agents were invited to trial Amadeus' new fully mobile online selling platform, which allows agents to work anywhere at any time.
Unveiled in March , the program is designed to revolutionise the way travel agents work by giving them access to GDS information through an online portal.
Guests at the event held in Sydney heard first hand from Amadeus product expert Damian Hannam, as well as Michael Gazal, Executive General Manager of Travel Managers Australia, about the first travel agency business to adopt Selling Platform Connect .

Agents simply open an Internet browser, type in the link, enter their credentials and they’re away – they can make new bookings or check bookings anytime, anywhere.
The online booking site is already in use in several overseas markets, including Korea and the USA.

Until recently, the program was being tested in Australia by consultants from the TravelManagers brand.
Amadeus’ MD Tony Carter said the new system puts the tech company and its users at the forefront of trends.

TravelManagers’ MD Michael Gazal agreed, saying the Selling Platform Connect is ideal for the company’s mobile agents who would benefit from being able to access their bookings whether they’re in the office, on the road or at a client’s home.
The event was hosted by Amadeus IT Pacific MD Tony Carter and his team last night at the Studio at Sydney Tower.
