22% growth for Amadeus Romania

Amadeus Romania, a provider of technological solutions for tourism operators (travel agencies, airlines), at the end of last year saw 22% increase in the number of reservations to 841,500, which figure covers every service type: planes, cars, hotels, cruise ships. Air ticket reservations account for more than 99% of the total reservations, the company representatives say. “Amadeus entered the Romanian market in 1997 and has come to attain an over 70% market share in the meantime,” says general manager Razvan Antoni. Amadeus Romania is currently providing services to 165 travel agencies in Romania, with its most important clients including Arotravel, Happy Tour, Tudor Turism, Paralela 45 and Visit Romania. Amadeus last summer launched an electronic ticketing service. The main competitor of Amadeus on the Romanian market is the local division of the American Worldspan system. ZF
