MASSIVEGOOD

What is MASSIVEGOOD?

MASSIVEGOOD will go live in the US on March 4, and travelers will be asked to contribute $2 to fight HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis and improve maternal and child health.

Those who say "yes" will become "micro-ambassadors," as they spread the word about this easy way to help solve the global health crisis.
But some not-so-micro-ambassadors have also volunteered to lend a hand. MASSIVEGOOD’s launch will kick-off with a series of three exciting events in New York City, featuring a range of well-known figures in entertainment, politics, global health and the travel industry.
Who will be the first to click? Follow MASSIVEGOOD on Twitter @joinmassivegood and Amadeus, the technology partner of MASSIVEGOOD, @amadeusnews to find out!

How is Amadeus involved?

The technology solution for MASSIVEGOOD was developed by Amadeus, and can be integrated into all GDS, airline and other travel booking systems. As a result, MASSIVEGOOD will make it easy for everyone who travels to make a small ($2) micro-contribution through a simple click each time they book their reservation, whether online or through an agent.
