Travelport GDS is to host a roundtable
discussion at the Association of Corporate Travel Executives
(ACTE) Asia Pacific Education Conference in Singapore on August
13, 2009. The roundtable will look at the role of the GDS’s in
business travel.
Leading the session will be Travelport’s Kris
Miller, Business Development Director, Asia Pacific. Miller is
responsible for formulating and executing Travelport’s corporate
engagement strategy.
“In the past, this conference
provided delegates with an overview of the industry and travel
trends. With the global financial crisis impacting travel, the
focus this year has changed significantly to help travel
professionals and customers maximise their travel budgets and
employ robust, cost saving technology and solutions,” Miller said.
“Travel management firms and corporate clients have varying
degrees of understanding of what a GDS can provide, with much of
it based on dated information and perceptions. Corporate
engagement by Travelport has never been stronger as we look at
ways for clients to buy and manage travel smarter and more
competitively while at the same time maintaining the required high
standards of care, safety and security of travellers within their
respective organisations,”
The roundtable
session will provide an opportunity for delegates to assess and
discuss the needs of managed travel programmes, including trip
planning, fulfilment capabilities and cost analysis in addition to
the various technology solutions available.
The ACTE Asia
Pacific Education Conference is taking place at the Ritz-Carlton
Millenia Singapore from August 12-13, 2009.
