They are split into so called clusters: OTA (online travel agencies), supplier & tour operators, service & travel technology providers as well as start-ups. We push forward new developments and sensitize the travel industry for important topics such as innovations or data quality. It monitors market performance and the regulatory environment, engages in the public and political debate and supports young academics as well as new businesses to drive innovation and growth across the industry.
