The show will focus on how airlines can reduce credit card fees and save
on distribution costs by accepting UATP and alternative forms of payments
instead of credit cards.
This segment of World Business Review will explore how the recent changes
in the travel industry have impacted both the business traveler and the
airlines hard. After fuel and labor costs, distribution -- which includes
credit card use; handling and delivery, is the third highest expenditure for
carriers today.
Coordinating producer Robert Stalzer said in a Multi Media Productions
release, "When researching the latest developments in alternative payment
solutions, Universal Air Travel Plan, Inc. consistently came up as being in
touch with the most current advancements in this area. They were a natural to
appear on this edition of World Business Review."
