Amadeus has launched its Rail Display booking tool in the UK.
The new platform aims to make ‘selling international rail as easy as air travel’ for travel agents, with the option to shop, book and issue tickets in one process.
Agents can also assign seats in the new system, which is on a single screen through the Amadeus Selling Platform.
Voyages-sncf.com is its launch partner and has put all its fares and inventory on the site for agents to book.
“We are delighted to introduce Rail Display in partnership with Voyages-sncf, one of the world’s leading rail ticket distributors,” said Diane Bouzebiba, managing director at Amadeus. “Travelling on high speed rail in Europe is a superb experience and the time is now for travel sellers to embrace growing consumer demand and the extra earning potential of international rail travel.”
Paul Lacey, head of trade sales at Voyages-sncf for UK & Ireland added: “Access and ‘bookability’ are important cornerstones for continuing to grow sales of European rail. We are delighted that our partnership with Amadeus further extends the choice that travel agents have to offer a wide range of continental fares and products to their customers.”
