Hickory, Amadeus Collaborate on Hotel Program

Hickory Global Partners, a travel management services company, is giving access to its hotel program to Amadeus subscribers in what the companies called a “groundbreaking” deal. The agreement extends access to Hickory’s two rate access codes – HFH (primary) and EZR (secondary) – to Amadeus customers via Amadeus. The deal gives Hickory’s hotel suppliers access to an additional avenue for distribution, with the potential for increased revenue by reaching more agencies. At the same time, it provides Amadeus agents with access to a larger hotel portfolio and the ability to book additional hotel rooms in all categories.
