PANEL - GDS - New Deals and Models
The global distribution system (GDS) providers are cutting new deals to ensure
they have access to all fare types. And as the pressure on GDSs to reduce
costs remains intense from customers and new challengers, they are
adapting their business models to diversify into new areas.
Are contract renegotiations going to save the GDSs from their
competitors or cause pricing problems similar to those of the airlines?

GDS: New Deals and Models - Moderated by RICHARD CLARKE, Director,
Travel Technology Research Ltd. Group Featuring:
REET WISEMAN, VP, North Region & Global Accounts, Sabre Travel Network,
BRYAN CONWAY, VP, Distribution, EMEA, Cendant Travel Distribution Services,
and JOHN DABKOWSKI, Managing Director, Navitaire.
