Agenda & Overview

Overview: The Airline and Travel Industry has an extremely complex landscape when it comes to how customers can pay for their global services. But the complexity of payments goes off the scale when it comes to how the industry has to deal with payouts to both customers and vendors.
To address these issues, we held the ATPS Payouts Powwow. The Airline & Travel Payments Summits having been going strong for the past 11 years. Since they have focused on B2C payments, the focus of this event was on B2B Payments and Payouts. Areas where airlines, hotels, Online Travel Agencies and other travel companies can find significant savings.
This conference imparted best practices to streamline paying out to suppliers and customers.
