1. How does the travel industry adapt to the world’s fast-growing technology space? How does DAT harness the limitless possibilities that today’s technology provides?
The travel industry has always been a people business and will continue to be one. Growth in technology provides a tool to streamline and automate the more mundane tasks. Seamless connectivity with customers via XML has become a basic necessity in today’s world.
We are extending this by going for seamless connectivity with our major suppliers, automating the end-to-end process from customer to supplier.

We will be one of the first DMCs to offer last-minute availability for our industry partners. We also have an exciting line-up of products that will be launched in the next few months.

In addition to service excellence, DAT’s brand value reflects a DMC with a proven track record, backed by a parent company with solid financial credentials, and with a professional management team that understands the customer needs.
