It’s a complex world

• We understand the complexities of the TMC model - no one size solution

• We work with TMCs (as clients and intermediaries) and your customers

• Our strategy is to integrate with agencies and technology providers

• Payment can provide continuity and stability within the booking and reconciliation process

• For central accounts the spend type (BSP air, LCC, hotel) will lead to the most appropriate card solution

• Key considerations:• Global coverage• Control and compliance• Data visibility• Cash-flow• Speed of booking• System integration – (agent direct or via a relationship such as Conferma or

Multicom)All resulting in cost and risk reduction
