Unlock New Revenue Everyday
Travel is the pulse of the world – it is what keeps the world moving forward. Every day, millions of
professionals around the world help travelers make every trip memorable. These memorable trips are
created with intricate planning, meticulous operations, and deep consumer insights, which companies
have gathered over the years through multiple processes established to understand what guests prefer
while planning, discovering, booking, and experiencing travel. These insights are critical for the industry
to not only deliver value every day but also to engage, acquire, and retain guests. Unlike other industries,
the travel and hospitality sector cannot afford to push inventory over to the next day. Commercial
and operations teams need the right solutions to engaging, acquiring, welcoming, and retaining guests
to unlock new revenue every day. This is the purpose of RateGain Travel Technologies – to help our
customers unlock new revenue every day.

52 The Global COVID19 outbreak had an adverse impact on the travel and hospitality industry. Over the last
18 months, the pandemic has entered an endemic stage across the world with most countries removing
travel restrictions and international travel resuming, the industry is on its way to recovery. The group
operations and financial performance were impacted due to these restrictions, however, with the gradual
reopening of international travel and increased vaccinations, the group volumes have recovered to
pre-pandemic levels in the year ending 31 March 2022. The group has considered the possible effects
that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the carrying amounts of property, plant and
equipment, intangible assets, goodwill, investments and trade receivables. In developing the assumptions
relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic condition because of the pandemic,
the group, as at the date of the approval of the financial results has used internal and external sources on
the expected future performance of the group. Based on current indicators of future conditions, the group
expects the carrying amount of these will be recovered and sufficient liquidity is available to fund the
business operations. Given the uncertainty because of COVID-19, the final impact on the group assets in
future may differ from the estimated as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial results.
