Amadeus, a global leader in technology and distribution solutions for the travel and tourism industry, today announced that the Amadeus tours booking platform, Amadeus Tours Suite, now contains more than 200 leisure providers from 15 countries and continues to grow. For the travel agent in Central & Eastern Europe, the booking platform contains the most comprehensive leisure content on the market.
Travel agents using Amadeus Tours Suite can deliver thousands of leisure travel options to customers, from tour operators, rail, cruise, holidays clubs and parks, to travel insurance, charter airlines, car rental and ferries.
