On September 12, the 7th technology conference for tourism industry professionals will be held at the largest autumn tourism exhibition, the country forum OTDYKH 2018. REST Travel Technology ConferenceAs always, the forum is open to representatives of the tourism industry free of charge! The event's organizers—the TRN Group media holding and Euroexpo—have prepared a rich program.
This year the forum will be held in two formats: Panel discussions on global changes in tourism industry business processes due to technological advances (management, sales, cooperation models between travel agencies, OTAs, and TAs), and practical seminars where companies will present their latest developments. You'll gain all the necessary information on the current state of the industry and improve your travel agency's efficiency and competitiveness.
The latest wave of bankruptcies, including those of major travel companies, has raised the question of improving the overall reliability of the tourism industry. Market experts believe that technology will bring about fundamental changes in the development and distribution of both integrated tourism products and individual services. The following will share their predictions:
- Leonid Marmer, CEO of Amadeus
- Tatyana Merkulova, Vice President and Commercial Director of the Transport Clearing House
- Ilya Kravtsov, B2B director of Ostrovok
- Dmitry Permyakov, project manager at PeakWork
- Alexander Ladygin, founder of Rent a Ride
- Anatoly Kuryumov, CEO of Raketa.travel
An equally important issue that is acutely facing travel companies is the organization of mutual settlements with clients and partners: online cash registers, the specifics of implementing standards under Federal Law 54, cost optimization through omnichannel payments, as well as comprehensive solutions in existing CRM platforms - this is an incomplete list of topics that will be raised at the conference as part of the panel discussion "Online and Offline Payments in the Travel Industry: Technologies and Development Prospects in Russia and the CIS»
Official partner of the conference The Transport Clearing House (TCH) is the executive body governing the air transport settlement system and a single sales and settlement platform for airlines and agencies.
