Conference Overview

Success is a matter of maximising profits whilst minimising losses... if only it was that simple...

Well in some cases it is! The Travel Payment and Fraud Conference is designed to show you ways to minimise losses whilst maximising the revenues you take. Leading travel companies will share simple strategies to reduce transaction costs and fraud whilst encouraging customer loyalty and conversions.

With the credit crunch biting, airlines, hotels and intermediaries are looking how they can further reduce costs and sharpen their competitive edge. Edgar, Dunn and Company estimated that the airlines alone spend US$1.5 Billion on taking credit card payments so for the whole travel industry the potential savings are truly massive.

A whole host of payment providers are now targeting the travel business and it's not just the trend to drive cheaper debit card payments over credit cards. It's branded payments cards, echecks, air mile bartering, wire transfers, corporate payment mechanisms and CHAPS (ACH for the USA) that are offering savings for businesses and convenience for customers.

Alternative payment systems are a win-win situation for your company, offering savings and increased conversions. Hear from companies that have seen their payment systems pay for themselves in increased bookings and discover the right strategy for you.

What's more, take advantage of our anti-fraud master class and make sure you are doing all you can to minimise losses and maximise consumer trust.  Figures you cannot ignore: Up to 16% of your customers do not feel secure paying on your website and over £300 million is being lost by airlines to fraud!

Security and savings go hand in hand - we bring together the companies who have effectively combated fraud and now want you to do the same!

As well as boostng your profitability, changing the way you take payments can also have an impact on:

  • How, and even if, your customers still buy from you, especially in emerging markets and European countries where cc are not the favoured method of payment
  • It can change the channels your customer buys your product through, so impacting on your costs
  • The amount of payment providers you have to negotiate and work with
