In recent years, the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) mantra has been “focus on the customer instead of the flight.” IATA aims to do just that with its joint initiatives: New Distribution Capability (NDC), launched in 2012, and ONE Order, launched in 2016.IATA’s goal with NDC is to deploy a new standard for richer data exchange between airlines and their resellers, paving the way for enhanced product merchandising and retailing across all distribution channels.With ONE Order, IATA aims to simplify the current order management process, spanning purchase, fulfillment, servicing and accounting.Both efforts are driven by full-service carriers (FSC) wanting to control their own offers and distribution, and move away from airline-centric processes and proprietary technologies to a more mainstream retailing and customer focused environment. Currently, most FSCs use combinations of their own revenue management, customer profile, loyalty management and customer relationship management (CRM) systems to deliver customized, albeit limited, offers to their distribution channels.Analyst: Michael GerraTopic: Technology InnovationResearch Type: Report

From perfectly filtered social media posts to heartfelt recollections of friends, visually stunning scenes from movies, and glossy magazine covers, travelers are exposed to an array of inspiration sources that seed ideas of spectacular places they hope to one day see. But with a world of options, travelers must carefully whittle down their options to the one that most speaks to their wishes. Most travelers take just a handful of leisure trips each year. After accounting for the trips to visit family and friends or to attend social obligations – weddings, graduations, reunions – the pool of trips left where travelers actually get to choose their destination independently shrinks. Within various markets across the globe, including the U.S., Brazil, Australia, China, Mexico, Germany and the U.K, less than half of leisure travelers traveled to a destination they could choose at their whim over the past year.Analysts: Alice Jong, Mark BlutsteinTopics: Destination & Activities Marketing, Consumer TrendsSegments: Hotels & Lodging, Online Travel Agencies, Tours & PackagesRegions: Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, U.S. & CanadaResearch Type: Report
