A key component of success for both large companies and startups is anticipating and correctly assessing emerging trends. This certainly applies to the tourism industry. For six years, the Travel Russian News media holding has been introducing you to with current technologies: together we witnessed the transition from Excel spreadsheets to CRM, the introduction of instant messengers and chatbots The sales landscape, the mass launch of dynamic packaging, and the emergence of multi-product platforms are all rapidly evolving. It's time to move forward. That's why, on October 31st, at the Travel Winter IT Workshop conference at Palmira Business Club, we'll be surprising you with new technological trends that, dare we say it, will allow you to establish and maintain a leading position in the travel industry.
It's no secret that over the past few years, the leaders in the travel services market have been companies that have devoted enormous attention to IT development. Thanks to this, the GDS tour segment has reached a completely new level. However, it's also worth remembering that since 2013, there have been ongoing discussions about the need to implement a new technological standard— NDC - whose main goal is to provide more opportunities for airlines, selling tickets and ancillary 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, the company's new development strategy for NDC was officially announced. Key GDS partners Delta Airlines and Finnair presented their analysis and initial results of implementing the new standard. Behind the complex words and grandiose statements there may be a real technological revolution, the consequences of which we will discuss on TWITW.
