“In the business travel space, our customers and travelers are born in the consumer market,” said Moscovici, director of emerging technologies for the travel management company. “Their appetite is ripe for the consumer experience in travel. We think it’s not so much about them shifting to one [technology] over another; it’s about them having the choice to execute their desired interaction.”
