It has been an incredibly productive few weeks but, more importantly, it provided us with cross-regional insights and connection with members, partners, stakeholders and policymakers that will help us better understand and act on behalf of our global industry.
One of our industry’s timely topics is the New Distribution Capability (NDC) and how implementation is bringing rapid change. We hope you’ve had a chance to tune into GBTA’s recent NDC-related podcast. It provides a view from expert buyer members of what NDC means for business travel and how they’re getting ready for it.
Additionally, in the GBTA Hub we have launched an Distribution/NDC Forum here to provide a place and platform for our members to engage, ask questions, share resources, and gain insights from each other. To help navigate what’s ahead, for a limited time GBTA is also making available to members and non-members these NDC-related materials:
- “Preparing for the New World of Airline Retailing, GBTA podcast
- “Navigating an NDC World: Strategies for Success,” 2022 GBTA Convention, San Diego, expert panel
- “NDC in Action: Insights and Conversation with NDC Thought Leaders,” 2022 GBTA Convention, San Diego, expert panel
- “NDC: 10 Years After,” 2022 GBTA Europe Conference, Brussels, GBTA Aviation Committee panel
Momentum also continues to build toward our line-up of GBTA flagship in-person events ahead. April 18th is the deadline for the next attendee registration price break for the August GBTA Convention in Dallas. In May, the GBTA Canada Conference returns to Toronto, and in June, the U.S. Legislative Summit and Global Sustainability Summit take place back-to-back in Washington, DC. Mark your calendars to attend – we can’t wait to connect!
