Magellan Travel Group partners with Amadeus
The Magellan Travel Group was consolidated earlier in 2008, focusing its business mainly on attracting independently-owned medium to large agents with established client bases, typically in high-end leisure and SME corporate travel. Since its creation in April 2008, one of Magellan’s top priorities has been to invest in sophisticated technology to allow complete transparency and the best service to its member agents. The technology provided by Amadeus is the perfect complement to Magellan’s business strategy as well as to its member agents when it comes to supporting the achievement of business goals.
“Amadeus is proud to be the chosen technology provider for the Magellan Travel Group over any other available technology provider”, says Tim Russell, Managing Director, Amadeus IT Pacific. “The Magellan Travel Group believes in growing business through partnership and so does Amadeus, establishing a perfect cultural fit and natural partnership between both organisations. “
