Global Distribution Systems (GDSs) or Computer Reservation Systems (CRSs) have been capturing the headlines in recent months, as two significant developments unfold in Europe. First, industry players are debating if and how the European Commission should update its CRS Code of Conduct, following an invitation to all stakeholders to comment on a list of key questions.

CWT Vision looks at these two critical issues and presents insights from the United States.
