Online and traditional businesses go head to head

Speakers from amongst the largest online travel businesses and the top vertically integrated travel companies will be presenting their strategies and views on future travel distribution at The Travel Technology Initiative’s Spring conference.

The speakers will also take part in a panel debate on the future of travel distribution. Other questions to be addressed include:

How do the distribution strategies of the online travel companies differ from the traditional players?

Are online and traditional companies competing for the same customers or are they addressing disparate market segments?
