Trust is the foundation of travel and hospitality. That’s why Forter is proud to announce its achievement of the prestigious AWS Travel and Hospitality Competency, joining an elite group of just 67 partners worldwide. This designation is awarded to fewer than 10% of all AWS partners, recognizing those with exceptional expertise in securing digital transactions and optimizing customer experiences in an industry built on trust. 

Forter’s achievement underscores its deep industry knowledge, cutting-edge fraud prevention solutions, and close collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to drive innovation for travel and hospitality merchants worldwide.

Powering Seamless Travel & Hospitality Experiences

Booking a flight, securing a hotel, or reserving an experience should be effortless. Yet, in an era where travelers expect instant confirmation and personalized service, merchants face a critical challenge: balancing security with seamless customer experiences. Every fraudulent transaction, false decline, or added layer of friction erodes trust and revenue.

By earning the AWS Travel & Hospitality Competency, Forter is recognized as a trusted partner, helping merchants prevent fraud, reduce chargebacks, and enhance customer interactions. This designation validates the strength of our fraud management and identity intelligence platform, as well as our ability to meet AWS’ highest standards for security, reliability, and innovation.

“Fraud prevention is crucial in the travel and hospitality industry, where trust and seamless customer experiences go hand-in-hand,” said Moni Panchavadi, Worldwide Partner Solution Lead – AWS for Travel and Hospitality. “We are excited to see Forter achieve the AWS Travel & Hospitality Competency—only a select group of AWS partners worldwide have achieved it, less than 10% of total partners. Their deep expertise in fraud prevention helps travel merchants create secure, frictionless experiences while continuing to drive innovation for AWS customers.”

The future of secure travel commerce requires intelligent, real-time decisioning — a capability that Forter, now validated with the AWS Travel & Hospitality Competency, delivers at scale.
