"IATA has served as a neutral, trusted intermediary for decades" is one quotation
I have read. HA! This is an organization, a cartel as a matter of fact,
especially dominated by anti-competitive global airline alliances, that uses its
multinational position to create rules and enforce an agreement that is dramatically
one sided, both against travel agencies and consumers. What complete unbridled
brashness to think that an airline body should have control of the word "travel".
Let them have airline, air, or fares, but travel belongs most to travel agencies
as represented by a worldwide body of associations of travel agents. No one
sector, no matter how powerful or domininant, should have the power to claim the
entire travel domain! The airlines have an increasing stranglehold on all members
of the travel industry, but they are the mere transportation to resorts and cruises
which are the real thing people think of when they think travel. Giving this domain
to IATA is asking for a further strangling of consumers and other players in the
travel industry. Enough is enough!
