"In this content drive, we are including more and more hotel consolidators, which has allowed us to add new properties very quickly," says Antoine Medawar, managing director, Amadeus Hospitality Business Group. "Our inventory has grown by nearly 15% in six months." Amadeus claims about 75,000 travel agency clients around the world.
