CHANNEL FRAGMENTATION / CONTENT INTEGRATION AND ITS COST Who is going to pay the bill?

How are Brazilian airlines planning their expansion and distributing their product outside the Brazilian borders. Commissions that come from suppliers are obscuring the costs associated with channel fragmentation—supplier inventory that is distributed through GDS, proprietary supplier Web sites and third parties. However there are costs in terms of efficiency, traveler tracking and stop gap technology development that is being borne by both the TMC and the corporation. This session will explore these hidden costs and attendees will have a better understanding and maybe we can even start designing the future.
