Payment Unsettled: Cost, Opportunity and Disruption in Travel's Complex Payment LandscapeBy Phocuswright
Phocuswright's Special Project maps the global travel payments landscape and examines the major changes and challenges shaping payment methods across the travel industry. This report assesses travel payments across four key dimensions:

2. Travel segment: key differences across airlines, hotels and travel intermediaries, including online travel agencies (OTAs), traditional agencies and TMCs (travel management companies)
3. Region: the mix of payment methods used and trends vary by region.
4. Payment model: key challenges and trends across B2B vs. B2C payments for online and offline distribution.
