The cooperation will feature joint communications, educational webinars, and opportunities to showcase case studies and innovations at industry events, including upcoming ECTAA summits.

Both organisations aim to build awareness and foster adoption of digital settlement technologies for a more resilient and future-ready travel ecosystem.
