Live from the good ship Gray Dawes at the Business Travel Show 2023 In our latest Travel Talks webinar, we’ll be looking at the importance of getting great content in your corporate travel programme. We discuss and dispel the myths surrounding NDC, and examine what the features of traditional GDS content compared to web-only, supplier-direct rates and aggregators. Of course, it’s nice to have a choice. Gray Dawes can deliver the content your company wants and needs. Our bespoke booking tool can include or exclude suppliers based on commercial partnerships or duty of care criteria. Content from recognised travel retailing sites, such as Booking.com and Expedia, are served up alongside direct airline content, traditional GDS, web rates, NDC and more, giving you the confidence that you’re getting the best possible price. This webinar was recorded and live-streamed from the Sunborn Yacht at the Business Travel Show 2023 and we'd like to thank Leanne Wilby from Games Global for joining us.
