How can agencies cure cruise phobia, and why can’t tourists say “no”?

An important component of success for both large companies and startups is the foresight and correct assessment of emerging trends. Of course, this statement is also applicable to the tourism business. For 6 years, the Travel Russian News media holding has been introducing you to with current technologies: together we witnessed the transition from Excel tables to CRM, the introduction of instant messengers and chatbots in the sales sphere, the mass launch of dynamic packaging and the emergence of multi-product platforms. It's time to move on. That's why on October 31 at the Travel Winter IT WorkShop conference in Palmira Business Club we are going to surprise you with new technological trends that, we are not afraid to say it, will allow you to take and maintain a leading position in the travel business.

 

 

It is no secret that over the past few years, the leaders in the tourism services market have been companies that pay enormous attention to IT developments. Thanks to this, the GDS tour segment has reached a completely new level. But we should also not forget that since 2013, there have been regular discussions about the need to implement a new technological standard - NDC - whose main goal is to provide more opportunities for airlines, selling tickets and additional services through GDS channels, and therefore for agents working with the technology platform. In July of this year, at the Sabre Space: Travel Leaders Forum conference, a new strategy for the company's development along the NDC path was officially announced, the main GDS partners - Delta Airlines and Finnair - presented analytics and the first results of the implementation of the new standard. Behind the complex words and loud statements there may be a real technological revolution, the consequences of which we will discuss on TWITW.

You can only say “no” to a client in one case: when he asks for a discount.. All other requests should not only be satisfied, but satisfied in the shortest possible time. Which online systems allow you to book tours from two to 365 days individually and for groups? Is there a convenient and really working constructor, and what geography does it work for? Experts will also answer these and many other questions about packaging in detail on October 31.

I want it and it pricks me - a cruise product. Many agents are afraid of it like fire, how to cure cruise phobia and start earning on this complex, but incredibly high-margin product? Are there any booking systems that offer a full range of operators, regions, liners and services?
