New GBTA Podcast


Regenerative Business Travel:
Leaving a Net Positive Impact

A new phrase has entered the lexicon alongside sustainable travel: regenerative travel. Regenerative travel emphasizes net positive impacts on both people and planet. In this podcast, we introduce the topic of regenerative travel, how this works in a business travel context, and what travel managers and the business travel community can do to truly have a net positive impact on the destinations, communities, and environments that they visit. You can learn more about regenerative travel and other ways to green business travel at GBTA’s upcoming Sustainability Summit on June 13 in Washington DC.
