Join TTG in a Facebook Live discussion with industry experts, examining what the legal implications of the new directive are and how best to counter the impact of having to absorb credit card fees.

The panel will feature:

• Farina Azam, partner, Travlaw
• Luke Petherbridge, senior public affairs manager, Abta
• Julia Lo Bue-Said, managing director, Advantage Travel Centres Group
• Gary Lewis, chief executive, The Travel Network Group

Topics will include advice on how agents can legally cope with the prohibition of credit card fees, which come into force in January 2018; the positive and negative implications of introducing booking fees; encouraging discounts or incentives on certain payments; and how agents can start preparing for the changes now.

Email TTG editor Sophie Griffiths - sgriffiths@ttgmedia.com - with your questions in advance of the discussion, or submit your questions live on the Travel Trade Gazette Facebook page as you watch the discussion unfold.
