  5. Global Travel Industry – some insights • Airlines/Suppliers starting to use alternate distribution system, other than the GDS including going directly to consumers (ref handout) • Low cost airlines gaining ground • GDSs are also moving toward vertical integration and a 'direct to corporate model' - effectively competing with the big Travel Management Companies • Agency commission cuts – Agents need to look for alternative revenue streams • GDS fees been reduced – Incentives from GDS to agents increasing

  6. The Indian Context • Online booking, which is fast becoming a phenomenon globally, will catch up in India sooner than later as GenNext Indians are tech-savvy • After western countries where low cost carriers are becoming the order of the day, it is gradually gaining ground in India too. • The Indian hotel industry is expected to spend Rs 500 crore over the next five years to upgrade and buy new information technology products. • Corporate travel in India accounts for around $1.5 billion to $2 billion per year

  7. Galileo India - Present Market Conditions Globally there are 5 major GDSs and 4 of them are already in India, with Galileo & Amadeus controlling 80% of the market share. But in recent times, Abacus is seen to be getting aggressive in market place Internet has transformed the business. Airlines, Hotels & Car rental companies are looking for cheaper options to distribute their inventory. And are reducing GDS fees back & forth Very stiff. Discounts and incentives constitute a major portion of the costs. Most travel agents generally have access to both Galileo & Amadeus, and the usage of each depends on monetary incentives and sales person’s relationship The competition between Amadeus & Galileo is stiff and virtually there is no product differentiation. The target market is limited and therefore the buyers(Travel Agents) have a lot of bargaining power This is a major area where Galileo is facing a lot of threat from. Internet is the biggest threat and globally it has given a dent to all GDSs. Soon the trend will be seen in India too with GDSs losing ground to Internet

  8. Darwinian Theory Rejuvenation Maturity Development Growth Decline Start-up Time Baghai: The Alchemy of Growth (1999)

  9. Changing Models and Players: A Case Study Agency

  10. Changing Models and Players Internet, Low cost airlines Local vendor systems Corporate travel agency Corporate Customer Consolidator Agency Consolidator, Agent Online Customer

  11. Dwindling Profit Model Where we should have been Domestic Segment fees down to USD 2.0 from USD 3.5, resulting shortfall in revenues Revenues C O S T Revenues1 Where we are Costs1 Costs Ever increasing FA’s & Incentives to the travel agent, resulting in higher than normal costs T I M E

  12. Analysis • Costs • Remarkable reduction in communication costs due to VPN Connectivity • Establishment costs have gone up • FA’s & incentives have gone up • Dwindling market share - 37%

  13. Why ITQ? • Increasing cost of FAs and diminishing GDS distribution fees • The need for the travel agent to change his business model in order to survive and look for new sources of revenue • Expand the pie • Handhold the agent as a consultant and implement IT solutions to improve their bottom-line • Threat to Galileo business by way of • Competition & Customers- Success dependent on unending pumping on segment based incentives • Substitutes - Internet and Direct Supplier connectivity

  14. InterGlobe’s Response Take Advantage of the Market Conditions Fill in the gaps in the IT & ITES sector in India Take the first mover advantage and structure itself to creating a new revenue stream Focus - Travel Technology Supremacy in Airlines Distribution Systems Provide solution frameworks for consolidators and corporate houses Support Galileo Business Supporting Galileo life cycle and differentiation itself from competition Blocking competition’s entry in an agency Providing value adds to the agency Facelift to the image of Galileo From a GDS to a Tech Consultant Industry leader & benchmark

  15. Gaps in adoption of Technology • Complex Industry structure with further complexity in nature of businesses of the industry components • Very few Travel Technology companies in India and none have India focus • Industry at a nascent stage of Technology adoption. They have a vague about their requirements and unclear about the results desired • Industry having a myopic view of Technology as business enhancer (booking engines) and lacks an insight on business efficiencies

  16. Filling the Gaps Complex industry & business structure Lack of India focus Lack of Knowledge with the industry units Myopic view Domain expertise derived from decades of Travel industry experience spread across all companies within the InterGlobe group Concentration of efforts directed towards all sectors in the Indian Travel industry Taking a consultative approach and delivering solutions based on requirements.

  36. Case Study - Leading Online Travel Company Latent Business Need Fares Engine with offline booking request system • Business Need - IBE • Approach • ITQ sales staff explored client’s requirements and concluded that he is interested in expanding his reach through online offering • At the same time he agrees that consumer behavior in India is not conducive to eCommerce as internet penetration is less and people are averse to online payment • The results of the need analysis were delved upon to further suggest him that he does not need an IBE but a Fares engine • Solution • ITQ is developing robust fares system having capability to retrieve fares from Local Private Fares System (a sub system designed by ITQ) and Galileo in single command

  37. Case Study - Leading Online Travel Company Web front End Query of Destination and fares Customer Detail Form Options for Arrival, Departure, payment modes & fulfillment centers Customer submits the request Customer pays & collects the Ticket from the fulfillment center Ticket gets Queued to the Ticketing center Calls the Customer to action the request Back office Executive receives the request Back Office/Offline fulfillment

  38. Case Study - Delhi Based Tour Operator • Perceived Business Need - Internet Booking Engine • This was based on the premise that the Tour operator had earlier opted for TravelGalileo • Approach - Ask right questions to uncover the need • Result • Wanted to sell Tour packages but did not have the hotel inventory with himself • There was no scope for online transactions • Had discontinued using TravelGalileo because did not make any booking on it • Lesson learnt - Are we asking the “RIGHT QUESTIONS”

  42. How am I expected to change? • Move away from product selling to consultative selling • Uncover the latent need of the customer • Nothing comes free - All services that we offer need to have a perceived value that is offset by either the customer paying or adjusted against FAs once increase profits are demonstrated • Because I am now coming from a different company I need to ensure I am not compared to other GDS companies
