Travel retail, shopping and booking stays, activities, or trips, is ripe for disruption using open source. Fifty years on from its inception, the process of shopping and purchasing travel products has been computerized and exposed online but works largely the same as it always did. Even as some legacy components have been replaced, their limitations are still present embodied in workflows and policy. Stateful, transactional, processing is still the order of the day. It all needs to be overhauled to move into a stateless, cloud based, digital world. Travel retail is unaffordable in its current form, open source is the obvious answer. As a community, make one investment to create the needed foundational capabilities such as offer/order management, security, identity management, event management, rules processing and much more. Noncompetitive functions everyone needs to create traveler solutions such as end to end trip solions and management via an AI powered app. The Open Travel Alliance is working with the Linux Foundation to form the Open Travel Foundation. This session will explain how this new foundation will transform travel retail.
