IATA represents more than 290 airlines responsible for 82% of total air traffic globally.
With the IATA/IATAN ID Card, affiliated travel professionals get access to the AgentExperience platform where they can view and book, in one convenient place, special offers such as FAM trips, training courses and personal discounts on flights, hotels, car hire, and attractions globally.
Harsha Krishnan, Head of Travel & Tourism at IATA said: "Partnering with Hotelbeds will significantly improve the booking options for travel professionals across the globe."
