| Date: | 21-22 Sep 2022 (Live Event) |

Travel Co-Branded Credit Cards are major sources of revenue for both travel providers, like airlines and hotels, as well as issuing banks and card schemes. Spend on co-brand cards has held up amazingly well despite the downturn in travel caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic. This event looked at maintaining travel cards at top of wallet. We looked at current threats and opportunities to these cards with a focus on improving Travel Company – Bank relationships.
