THE Southern African

Agency Programme Joint

Council (APJC) has written

to the Passenger Agency

Conference (PAConf) to

request an extension on

Iata’s controversial decision

to remove BSP monthly

remittance, giving agents

until April next year to comply.

The deadline is currently

December 31.

This was confirmed at the

Asata Travel Summit, which

was held on September 12

at the Sandton Convention

Centre.

The decision to extend is

expected to be made after

PAConf in October. Meanwhile,

agents must endeavour to

work to the current deadline

of December 31, said ceo

of Asata Otto de Vries.

“This extended time frame

will give agents time to

work with government and

corporate clients to improve

their payment cycle, and make

the move from extending

credit to using corporate

cards or lodge travel cards,”

says Janet Aldworth, md of

Sure Voyager Travel and the

agent representative on the

APJC.

The removal of BSP monthly

remittance and its impact

on payments was a key topic

of discussion at the Asata

Travel Summit.

The removal of monthly

remittance is expected to

drastically change how both

corporate and government

travel agents do business

as most corporate and

government clients expect

a 30-day account with

their TMCs.

Summit, see next week’s
