The OpenTravel Alliance (OTA), a specifications and standards organization serving the travel industry, announces an educational seminar to be held in Chicago on October 4, highlighting the value of OTA standards to distribution partnerships.

The focus of the seminar will be a session where several sets of trading partners from across the travel spectrum discuss how they were able to implement OTA messages to meet their business needs and their customers’ needs, resulting in benefits like reduced time to market, decreased IT costs, better service to partners and customers and increased credibility in the marketplace.
