It was indeed an honor for TravelSpends to present at the GBTA conference in Singapore, 2023. Our Founder, Mr. Suraj Nair, moderated a distinguished panel comprising Nicola W., Director at EY, and Akshay Kapoor, Head of Sales, Asia Pacific at CWT in an engaging discussion on "How to negotiate in an NDC world ?"
NDC (New Distribution Capability) is reshaping how airlines distribute content and how intermediaries and travelers consume it. It is emerging as a transformative force in the travel industry.
Suraj’s industry expertise and in-depth understanding of the NDC world along with an understanding of travel technology enabled him to address this topic and bring to life - NDC's implications, challenges, and opportunities for enterprises.
The session enriched attendees with valuable insights and positioned TravelSpends as a thought leader to help drive NDC adoption and thus shape the future of travel distribution.

Our CTIO Abdel ABATOUY spoke at the opening session on Day 2 of GBTA | Global Business Travel Association APAC Conference 2023. He shared how innovation is essential to stay at the cutting edge of the industry and regulations such as companies achieving DPTM compliance are essential to protect customer data. His vision for business travel, through technology, is to imagine going to the airport, automatically clearing customs, taking off and by the time you land, your luggage and driver are waiting for you. When you arrive at the hotel to check-in, it is contactless entry to your favourite hotel room.
