Our world-class technological excellence has its roots in a worldwide network of Research & Development (R&D) centres. This is where tomorrow’s solutions for the travel and tourism industry are being created.

Over the years, we’ve established close collaboration with research teams in leading institutes throughout the world, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston (on revenue management mathematics) and ETH – Swiss Federal Institute of Technology – in Zurich (on high performance systems engineering).

Sophia Antipolis (Nice) is our central headquarters for R&D activities, with on-site and worldwide teams developing solutions for travel distribution, e-commerce, points-of-sale, airline, hotel, rail and airport IT.

Our global networked organisation includes the R&D centre of Bangalore, the R&D sites of London, Sydney, Aachen, Antwerp, Boston, Bad Homburg near Frankfurt, Miami, Strasbourg, Toronto, Tucson and Istanbul as well as regional centres in Bogota, Warsaw, and Bangkok. This helps us to maintain close contact with our customers and enhance our global reach.
