Amadeus launches AI-powered advertising platform with Accenture to help travel brands capture demand earlier

Amadeus has launched the Amadeus Travel Advertising Platform, designed to help travel companies capture demand earlier by using forward-looking intelligence rather than historical performance data. The platform connects travel demand insights with advertising planning and AI-supported decision-making across channels. The platform's first live capability, the Omnichannel Budget Allocator, uses AI to continuously evaluate campaign performance and automatically reallocate advertising budgets across channels based on defined objectives. Rather than replacing existing platform tools, it orchestrates spending across the broader advertising mix. Amadeus is collaborating with Accenture, which is contributing its Accenture Media Console to accelerate development. The platform currently supports Amadeus Advertising's managed services for hotel customers, with destinations and airlines gaining access soon. Future phases will expand capabilities including enhanced measurement and deeper integration of demand signals.
