The Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) is pleased to announce a new preferred partnership with Flywire, a global payments enablement and software company with significant experience in the travel industry.
“Flywire’s travel payment platform is proven to solve vertical-specific payment and receivables problems for organizations that deliver high-value services,” said PATA CEO Liz Ortiguera. “Our partnership with Flywire can assist our members in enhancing their international payment processes.”
Flywire brings industry-leading expertise to the PATA community to solve today’s complex travel payments and reconciliation challenges. Their focus travel segments include Destination Management Companies (DMCs), Travel Operators as well as Accommodation Providers.
“Payment experience actually impacts a customer’s choice of travel agent or tour operator, and it’s not hard to understand why. Nearly half of travelers have experienced problems travelling because of payment issues,” said Colin Smyth, VP and GM of Travel at Flywire. “Collecting and processing payments in multiple currencies and payment types is quickly becoming an integral part of your guest experience.”
