Amadeus sees boost in railway sector

International travel technology service provider Amadeus said it believes that rail travel will play an even greater role in supplementing and complementing the wider travel industry in China - as well as other parts of the globe.

Madrid-headquartered Amadeus believes that China's ever-growing middle class desires more personalized travel and there is tremendous untapped market potential for rail travel in China and the whole of the Asia Pacific region which can't be ignored.

"As more Chinese nationals adopt rail as an easy way to travel, a huge market potential is out there," said Pierre-Yves Guillaume, Asia Pacific's head of rail and ground travel at Amadeus, in an interview with China Daily.
