Session #1 – “Content Crisis” – Ever Changing Distribution Strategies for Suppliers

Airlines are not the only ones disrupting the way we get content. NDC for Hotels? Yup, that’s a thing and it’s coming soon. Sourcing rail content from aggregator is becoming common. NDC vs. EDIFACT, what is the difference, and why do I care? My hotel gives me bonus points if I book on their app. Are loyalty points the new world currency?  All of these changes make us less dependent on a GDS, how will a TMC service a booking?  I’m confused! Help, this is a crisis!
