[20 min] This Show features a detailed discussion with leading UK travel Association executives regarding travel distribution system reform. Paul Tilstone, Executive Director of the UK and Ireland’s Institute of Travel Management, and Philip Carlisle, Chief Executive Officer of London-based Guild of Travel Management Companies, share what they believe stakeholders need to know; need to do to protect their interests; and why there is reason for hope.
[14 min] For the past 18
years, the EU CRS Code of Conduct (Regulation 2299/89) has protected purchasers of travel. Now, that protection is
poised at the precipice.
In a three-part series, over the next several weeks we will examine the issue -
chronicling the context of current CRS regulations, defining how the EU market
differs from that in the U.S., and finally taking a long, hard look at what
partial, or wholesale, CRS deregulation could mean to corporate buyers of air
transportation services, travel management companies and consumers.
The Association of Corporate Travel Executives is the Official Sponsor of this educational series and Business Travel Europe is the Media Partner.
