YOUR
OPPORTUNITY TO MEET FACE-TO-FACE WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES AND
DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF THE BUSINESS TRAVEL INDUSTRY
|
Canal Plus
Mix together anticipated GDS deregulation, commission elimination and technology advances and you wind up with a recipe for an expansion of distribution channels and a reconfiguration of existing channels in the business travel sector. Unlike the present where business travelers are discouraged from going outside of monolithic channel policy, the emerging stew of distribution options will offer multiple channel choices, better control and new-found savings to the corporation.
Attend this ACTE PowerTalk and gain an understanding of the shifting field in distribution and how your company needs to be prepared for it.

The implication of zero commission
Attendees will build on session one's discussions to investigate the new pricing structures resulting from airlines commission termination. This much debated issue is greatly transforming our industry's business model. As we focus on its impact on the travel supply chain; we will discuss responses to price change and what the possible ways to streamline operational costs are. Attendees will examine alternative business model that will need to be created among airlines, TMC and their clients.
