SUMMARY:Global Business Travel Forecast 2024: evoluzione del mercato e spunti per affrontarlo al meglio
DESCRIPTION:L’aumento dei prezzi del carburante\, la carenza di manodopera e le sfide della supply chain\, insieme alla forte domanda\, hanno portato ad un incremento generalizzato dei prezzi dei viaggi. Si prevede che la persistente incertezza economica e un graduale allentamento dei vincoli dal lato dell’offerta si tradurranno in aumenti dei prezzi\, anche se più moderati\, anche nei prossimi 12 mesi. \nQual è la strategia migliore per affrontare questo mercato? \nDurante il Webinar del 30 novembre analizzeremo i tratti salienti del “2024 Global Business Travel Forecast” realizzato da CWT e GBTA e con il supporto di Travel Manager e Travel Buyer condivideremo spunti utili per affrontare al meglio l’evoluzione del mercato. \nL’evento è possibile grazie agli Annual Partner di GBTA Italia:\n                    \nRegistrati qua

SUMMARY:2023 Global Business Travel Index™️ (BTI): What’s In Store for Global Business Travel
DESCRIPTION:For the past 15 years\, the BTI has been a signature GBTA research study. It is a critical industry planning tool and benchmark that provides an exhaustive study of business travel spending and growth covering 72 countries across 42 industries and provides a five-year forward-looking forecast. It provides demand-side measurements of all types of business trips and all spending\, including airfare\, hotel\, dining\, car rental\, train travel\, incidental purchases\, taxi/ride sharing\, etc.  This session examines key topics including how business travel is recovering from the pandemic\, when we expect to see full recovery and what it will look like considering inflation\, labor shortages\, supply chain bottlenecks\, global political conflict and rising interest rates.  New this year\, GBTA surveyed over 4\,000 business travelers around the world about their spending on business travel\, average length of trip\, booking behavior\, frequency of business travel and payments\, among other areas. \nJoin us for a look at the state of the industry and perspectives from business travelers around the globe. \nMade possible by \n \nSpeakers:\n \n\nJon Gray\nPrincipal\, Rockport Analytics \n\nEdward Galvin\nVice President and Head of North America B2B Payments Sales\, Visa
