The Impact of Fraud on the Travel Management Industry
Fraud affects all stakeholders in the Travel Industry. No matter whether you are the Travel Management Company, the carrier, the hotel, the car hire company, the financial institution or the Traveller - in some way, we have all been impacted by the financial ramifications of fraud and risk.
In this co-presented session, Galileo Southern Africa and American Express Card Division will be discussing the impact fraud has on our industry at large. This presentation will cover various case studies and highlight areas that all stakeholders should be aware of to curb this financial burden to our trade.
