PATA and ATTIA team up to push travel tech in Asia Pacific
PATA and ATTIA have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together on events, policy advocacy and marketing across the Asia Pacific travel and technology sector, as reported by Hospitality Net.
On paper it looks like a classic industry handshake. In practice, this kind of alliance matters for hoteliers because it puts distribution, payments and booking tech on the same table as the traditional travel associations. That is where the real conversations about standards, interoperability and cross-border payments in Asia Pacific need to happen.
My take: associations moving closer to tech bodies is a good signal. It means travel tech stops being a side agenda and becomes part of the main policy conversation. For any PMS, channel manager or revenue tool eyeing Asia Pacific, this is a door worth knocking on.
