On September 12, at the OTDYKH exhibition, travel agents and tour operators, together with experts in the IT segment in tourism, discussed the future of the industry. Leonid Marmer, CEO of Amadeus Russia, and Dimo Pashov, Sales Director (EMEA) of Peakwork, spoke about new global changes as in their companies and in the global industry as a whole. Panel discussion experts discussed the development of channels for the distribution of tourism services, the problems of the classic business model, and the client profile.
The speakers came to the conclusion that technologies and online services will take an increasingly important place in the work of travel companies, as well as in the life of a tourist. Competition between B2B and B2C segments will increasingly move online and time will become the most important resource in the struggle. How can travel companies take a strong position in such a reality and fight for the client? What competitive advantages will become the main ones for a travel agent? Will the classic travel business fight with OTA or are there ways of coexistence? We will discuss these and many other questions within the framework of the 10th Exhibition and Conference of Modern Technologies in the Travel Business Travel IT WorkShop! TITW will traditionally take place in the media center of the business hotel Palmira Business Club1 November.
