Industry Issues:
Straight Talk about the Industry's Future Beyond DCC
Lufthansa’s Distribution Cost Charge (DCC) showed a future that caught many by surprise with changes to the accessibility of content and a new fee for content through certain channels. ACTE’s response has been to make sure our members have the latest information to the new DCC and to insight into the future of content availability.
This Industry Issues session builds upon that approach. Five industry experts, and a renowned moderator, will present a straightforward interpretation of the future of content for travelers, business travel managers, and suppliers.
The panel will focus on direct connects, content, data access, cost implications, and traveller impact. Driven by your concerns and questions, this no-nonsense Industry Issues session will set the tone and the temperature for future industry debate that must involve all stakeholders.
