Travel Agent During the past two years, ACTE has invited the various GDSs to discuss the potential results of deregulation. One key finding of the study is that despite constant concerns in the travel industry not much as changed during the last year in Europe regarding deregulation. However, corporate buyers remain worried of the impact deregulation might have. Last November an overwhelming majority of ACTE members (70 percent) said they believed their company's travel management processes will change as a result of deregulation. When asked if GDS deregulation would be a threat for certain GDSs, 86 percent said yes.

Travel Agents The European Commission has postponed going forward with amendments to the current GDS code for two main reasons. Firstly, the EC thought it was prudent to gauge industry reaction to GDS deregulation in the United States. Secondly, it had to consider the future ownership of Amadeus by its three airline owners: Air France, Iberia and Lufthansa. A change at the Commissions helm earlier this year further delayed the decision-making process... Some industry analysts say the EC is expected to proceed with changes as early as September 2005. Actual changes to the code are not expected to take effect until mid 2006. ACTE believes members should take advantage of this time to prepare for all possible scenarios associated with a GDS deregulated environment and consider developments that will occur in the US following the expiration of current participating airline agreements with the GDSs.
