Today’s travelers are increasingly using a variety of platforms and providers to shop for, buy and service their travel. ARC believes the future of air travel retailing is a “buy anywhere, service anywhere” omnichannel ecosystem rather than today’s channel-exclusive environments. Through its products, solutions and investments, ARC connects airlines, travel agencies, travel managers and travelers across channels to create a more seamless, transparent and inclusive retailing environment.
ARC is making key investments in a wide range of innovative companies and solutions to support omnichannel retailing. These solutions allow industry partners to retain ownership of their critical systems and technology.
The travel journey is complex, and it is becoming increasingly personalized. Every journey begins with a spark of inspiration, spans the entirety of trip planning and continues through the trip itself.
See how the travel industry can create a more seamless, integrated travel journey from beginning to end.
