B2B: The Power Layer of Travel

2 jun., 11:40 - 12:10 EST|Mainstage

As travel becomes embedded in banks, fintech apps, loyalty ecosystems and AI interfaces, a powerful B2B layer is emerging to power supply, distribution and payments. Who will control this middle layer in the next 20 years – and what does it mean for the structure of the travel industry?
