SUMMARY:Mitigating 2024 Corporate Hotel Rate Increases via Segment Convergence
DESCRIPTION:Timezone:\n11:00AM EDT \nLast year\, travel programs faced challenging hotel procurement scenarios – and 2023/24 promises to be no different. To mitigate rate increases and drive more symmetry and transparency in hotel relationships\, more buyers are using a convergence approach to hotel procurement. More programs are negotiating with hotels for multiple products\, segments and services (e.g.\, room nights\, meeting space\, room blocks\, or extended stay) at the same time to truly showcase their cumulative value. As per GBTA and HRS research issued this summer\, most travel managers (54 percent) think their company would achieve greater process or savings efficiencies via convergence\, while only one in 10 say they would not. \nThis webinar will feature timely commentary from a respected travel program leader and a prominent hotelier\, as well as fresh updates regarding negotiating trends for 2024 as the fourth quarter is underway. Join this engaging session to learn more about how your company can use convergence tactics to drive notable gains in data transparency\, process efficiencies\, and savings across your key segments. \nModerator: \n\nWill Pinnell\, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of the Americas at HRS Group \nPanelists: \n\nMakiko Barrett\, Senior Director\, Procurement and Travel at Automation Anywhere \n\nShawn Parker\, Executive Director\, Strategic Accounts & Corporate Group Sales at Hilton Hotels & Resorts \nBased on GBTA research sponsored by HRS Group

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
