Travel products are now purchased and distributed in different ways as compared to a decade ago. MindTree understands the complex distribution models that have evolved as a result of increasing supplier influence, decreasing distribution costs, and multiple new distribution channels. Consumers are bypassing traditional travel agencies and consolidators in favour of online travel agencies, Internet consolidators, and supplier websites. On the distribution side, the GNE’s are attracting suppliers and internet websites thus threatening the reach and power of GDS’s.

MindTree has the domain knowledge and expertise to help you:

• Reduce costs to remain competitive – in era of reducing commissions and suppliers selling directly to consumers
• Selling higher margin complex products
• Aggregate content from multiple sources, including low-cost suppliers
• Address needs of emerging high-growth markets like China and India
