GDS Rule Changes

U.S. Department of Transportation rule changes that effectively deregulate the GDS industry have been approved, despite an industry that may be unprepared for the results. Will these rule changes require multi-GDS access in order to provide full content for the corporate travel program? This interactive session will feature several technology visionaries who have looked into the future and reemerged with wildly differing opinions. This session will help to clarify the murky crystal ball of the GDS future and help you decide if there's a need for realignment of your relationships to ensure full access of travel inventory.
