Mango Tours goes online with Amadeus

Travel Consolidator now offers online products and services for B2C and B2B customers

Makati, Philippines, 14 September 2010: Amadeus, a leading travel technology partner and transaction processor for the global travel and tourism industry, together with Mango Tours and Travel, an IATA-licensed travel consolidator that specializes in tour packaging, are proud to announce the launch of Mango Tours’ online booking engine – where travellers can now search, book and pay online through www.mangotours.com. Flight information is fed through Amadeus Web Services, while online credit card payments are facilitated by BancNet, the largest bank and ATM consortium in the Philippines. Other payment methods that are available include payment through mobile phone, and through any BancNet ATM in the Philippines.

Johnny Francisco, President of Mango Tours, said, “We at Mango Tours have partnered with the best GDS (Global Distribution System) in the industry, aiming to provide our customers seamless service and full support on every facet of our customers’ travel needs. Being the first travel agency in the Philippines to offer this notable accomplishment, Mango Tours is fully committed to investing in more ways to solidify its place as the Philippines’ top travel consolidator, specializing in both inbound and outbound destinations in the US, in Asia, most especially in the Philippines. ”

Having consolidator contracts with 11 airlines, and bringing with them 30 years worth of industry expertise, Mango Tours has expanded their product and service offering to Non-IATA travel agencies, and in order to facilitate the transfer of funds to and from these sub-agents, Mango Tours has employed Moneydirect, an Amadeus and Sabre joint venture that provides the most efficient multi-channel payment processing for the global travel and tourism industry. Moneydirect is the B2B online payment solution that allows Mango Tours, and its sub-agents, to make secure online fund transfers to each other, and to any organisation that is a part of the Moneydirect Community.

Earl Francisco, General Manager of Mango Tours, said, “Since signing with Moneydirect, Mango Tours has experienced convenience, time-savings, and most importantly, the security of conducting online payments and collections from the comfort of our own office.”

To date, Moneydirect processes over USD 2 billion annually in global travel payments.

Albert Villadolid, General Manager of Amadeus Philippines, says, “We are delighted that Mango Tours has chosen Amadeus as the technology partner to provide their online booking engine. Our best-in-class technology solutions not only offer increased profitability, but more importantly, increased opportunities to grow and expand one’s travel business.  The success of our agency subscribers like Mango Tours and Travel represents success for Amadeus as well.”
