Representing member interests at the Canadian Travel Fraud Prevention Group meeting
ACTA represented member interests along with fellow stakeholders focused on fraud at the IATA offices in Montreal last week. Along with ACTA and IATA, members of the Canadian Travel Fraud Prevention Group (CTFPG) in attendance included airlines, CATO, ATOQ, RCMP, banks, retail/OTA, tour operators, online fraud prevention companies, and credit card companies work together to develop the tools necessary to protect the travel industry against fraud, including the implementation of technical solutions
