Business travel is a constantly changing profession at the very forefront of the global economy. Driven by factors including technology, global security, government regulation, and traveller satisfaction; the profession of business travel is in an era of rapid innovation and transformation.
Through this programme, GBTA will shine the spotlight on these transformative thought-leaders, companies, and innovations, allowing the business travel community to visualise what it truly takes to thrive in today’s rapidly changing business environment.
Tangible examples of this transformation occur at every touch point of the travel experience, and generate new revenue streams for travel suppliers, and greater efficiencies and cost savings for the travel buyers whose road warriors carry out the mission of their companies around the globe. Business travel innovation takes many shapes and sizes – from looking at travel data in a whole new way, to making simple policy changes to deliver a better outcome.
