For Amadeus, partnerships like ours with HSMAI are all about more than business. They’re about bringing hoteliers and commercial leaders together, sharing ideas, learning from one another, and helping shape the future of hospitality. It was an absolute privilege to host our peers and raise a glass to the 99th Anniversary of HSMAI, an iconic organization and a long-standing partner we deeply value.

The hotel distribution landscape is more fragmented than ever before. And that’s why today we are announcing two additional hotel distribution capabilities, powered through strategic connectivity with HyperGuest, providing the infrastructure leisure sellers need to run modern direct hotel contracting programs at scale, while expanding the hotel options available through Amadeus.   💻 New Leisure Connect Plus capabilities give sellers a single connection to 150+ channel managers via real-time APIs, enabling them to automate rate and availability updates, onboard hotels faster, and distribute their own privately contracted hotel content across sales channels, all while retaining control of their hotel content and commercial strategy.   📈 At the same time, HyperGuest connectivity brings an additional 15,000 directly sourced independent properties into Amadeus Value Hotels, expanding hotel inventory while also providing access to richer, more granular hotel content.   Together, these capabilities simplify connectivity across multiple sources of hotel content and support more personalized hotel offers, while creating clearer, more comparable content for a future where AI increasingly influences how travel products are discovered, compared and selected.

Last week at HSMA Deutschland e.V. Day 2026, we had the opportunity to connect with hoteliers and industry peers and exchange perspectives on the challenges and opportunities shaping our industry. Thank you to everyone who joined Christiane Schmidt's session on strengthening hotel demand strategy in an era of volatility. The session kicked off a panel discussion with Roland Elter, Martina Wendel, and Astrid Prüger, where they explored how hotels can navigate changing traveler behavior and market dynamics. Some insightful takeaways: 🔍 Demand is won earlier, with travelers increasingly discovering hotels through AI, social, and digital channels. ⚡ Fast action matters. Hoteliers who spot demand shifts early are better positioned to respond. 💡 Focus on value, not just volume. Not all demand delivers the same business impact. 🤖 As AI changes hotel discovery, trusted content and visibility across channels are becoming essential growth drivers. Thank you to HSMA Deutschland e.V. for bringing the industry together for another great event! #HSMADay #Hospitality #TravelData #HotelTechnology
