ITM Scotland Summit
We live in a world that is dependent on connectivity. Air connectivity is the key to unlocking a country’s and region’s economic growth potential.
Up in the air connectivity is changing in-flight, including onboard Wi-Fi, satellite connectivity solutions, in-flight mobile phone use, and access to personal electronic devices. Not to be left out, rail connectivity is challenging the air and roads to bring alternative regional options.
Are you harnessing your TMC & travel programme’s maximum connectivity by enabling your travellers to be fully connected when booking and paying? Connect with us in Edinburgh and find out!
