Fare Buzz, which offers its consolidator
booking tool to travel agents at www.farebuzz.com, recently completed a
technology integration with Amadeus, although inventory from the
Madrid-based GDS/IT company isn't live yet on the site, a spokesman
for Fare Buzz said.
The introduction of
Amadeus inventory will supplement fares from Sabre, Galileo and
consolidators that agents can book through the online booking
tool.
Fare Buzz enables
agent participants to set their own commissions and keep the markup
for coach, business class and first class flights for domestic
travel and consolidator fares where the origination city is
overseas.
In other news, the
Fare Buzz spokesman said the company recently was contracted with
by the Crane Hotel & Residences in Barbados to use the Fare
Buzz air booking engine on the hotel's revamped Web
site.
Fare Buzz, a
year-old company with 40 employees and some $24 million in sales,
is privately owned by a group with interests in technology,
corporate travel and the consolidator business.
