Jerusalem based start-up Joyned, developer of Joyned Booking, a solution that makes online group booking a social experience, has today announced the appointment of Lutz Vorneweg, a senior executive at tourism giant Amadeus, as its Travel industry expert. Vorneweg has over 30 years’ experience in senior management positions at Amadeus, most recently as SVP of Strategic Alliances and Portfolio Partnerships. Amadeus, the world's biggest GDS, provides technology solutions for the entire tourism industry, including hotels, travel agencies, airports, and airlines.

"Eighty per cent (80%) of leisure travel takes place with friends and family. I am fascinated by what Joyned is doing in this space - helping friends and family to plan, book and share travel together - creating togetherness before and after the actual trip," said Lutz Vorneweg, SVP of Strategic Alliances and Portfolio Partnerships at Amadeus. "Helping the team of a young, dynamic company that’s helping set the future of the travel industry keeps me at the forefront of all the latest innovations in the sector. While at the same time, I am looking forward to using my experience to help Joyned create collaborative travel experiences for more and more friends and family and in turn accelerate its own growth."
