TMC/Online Booking Tool Showcase

Sponsored By Direct ATPI, Egencia, TripActions


TMC/Online Booking Tool Showcase

The current environment has raised a multitude of challenges for both the TMC & OBT community from transaction fees falling to near zero and bookings tools being switched off. Their importance within the ecosystem is unquestionable but what will their future focus be when it comes to investment and re-prioritising their customer propositions.
 
We’ll be changing the format of this popular annual event in order to bring you a selection of our industry’s finest in a series of short highlight presentations, where you will not only have the ability to ask questions but also access the recording post event.
 
The quick fire format will focus the presenters minds to showcase what makes them the ideal partner in these challenging times and how they have pivoted their business to support the recovery and changing needs of the travel buyer and traveller.
