Today I am looking forward to attending and speaking at the aegve (Asociación Española de Gestores de Viajes de Empresa) summit on behalf of The BTA and its members. The subject matter is fragmentation, modern airline retailing and I suspect the devil acronym of NDC will be mentioned at some point. 12 years on and it still featuring as a hot topic just shows what a mess the whole thing has been. However, evolution in business travel retailing was needed just the journey we are all enduring wasn’t needed. Along with Marcel Forns my colleague from GEBTA we will share with the delegates the findings from our recently published joint white paper “Navigating Fragementation in Corporate Travel”. A copy of which is available by this link. https://lnkd.in/ePwmWUCH The conclusions from travel buyers across the globe on fragmentation are clear, the TMCs are best placed to de-fragment the content and to do that they want suppliers to provide price parity and full content by whatever means. There, that’s simple isn’t it? #businesstravel #yourbta #corporatetravel #travelmanagement #NDC #fragmentation

🌊 Miches: Discover the New Gem of Dominican Tourism 🌿 Miches, located in the El Seibo province, is fast becoming the next tourism hotspot in the Dominican Republic, thanks to over $1.1 billion in investment from both public and private sectors. This ambitious development plan, driven by the Dominican government and tourism giants, is adding 4,500+ new hotel and residential rooms, with names like Hyatt and Wyndham, Four Seasons Tropicalia & Marriott International joining the mix alongside our own Zemí Miches, All Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton🌟 Hilton being the first to the Miches Market to introduce their new luxury all inclusive Zemi Miches, Curio Collection. What excites me the most is the impact on the local community. Beyond the luxury accommodations and pristine beaches, these projects are set to generate 14,000 jobs, directly boosting the region’s economy and infrastructure. As we welcome these new developments, Miches is on track to be one of the most sought-after destinations, offering a perfect blend of untouched nature and modern luxury. I had the chance to visit Miches last week, and it truly is a majestic, authentic & captivating destination. The drive from the nearest airport, PUJ, is about 90 minutes, and is far from your typical airport to hotel drive. It's an extremely scenic drive which introduces you to the real Dominican Republic, where your end destination features an impressive mountain range, and beaches that will leave you stunned. What are your thoughts on Miches becoming the next big player in Caribbean tourism? #DominicanRepublic #Tourism #Miches #SustainableTourism #LuxuryTravel #ZemiMiches #CurioCollection (source:https://lnkd.in/eS3iyqga)
