SUMMARY:The State of Corporate Travel Policies: What a Modern Policy Looks Like in the U.S. and Canada
DESCRIPTION:In business travel\, there is nothing more universal than a corporate travel policy. Based on GBTA research\, this webinar will discuss the current state of corporate travel policies. Topics include: \n1. Travel policy evolution: How are travel policies changing? Are policies becoming stricter or more lenient over time? How long is a typical travel policy? How can AI help educate employees about travel policies?\n2. Risk management: Why is a well-designed travel policy important to keep employees safe? What risk-related considerations are important when designing a corporate travel policy?\n3. Air travel: How often is business class allowed? In which scenarios is it allowed? How often are employees allowed to purchase various air-related add-ons and amenities—such as seat selection and early boarding—at company expense? Do travel programs have “lowest logical fare” (LLF) and “advance purchase” policies?\n4. Meals: Do travel policies outline per diems or spending limits for employee meals?\nDo companies set their own meal rates – or use a government benchmark?\n5. How do travel policies address hotel stays? Do they outline per diems or spending limits – or do they advise employees to purchase “reasonably” or “moderately” priced accommodations? \nSpeaker Info: \n\nDr John Rose\nChief Risk Advisor\nALTOUR \n\nMichael J. Boult\nSVP Chief Commercial Officer\nALTOUR \nStart Date and Time: 3.26.26 11am EST\nEnd Date and Time: 3.26.26 12pm EST\nLocation: Webinar

SUMMARY:Global Business Travel Index (BTI)™: Outlook for Global Business Travel 2022 – 2026
DESCRIPTION:For the past 14 years\, the BTI has been a signature GBTA research study. It is a critical industry planning tool that provides an exhaustive study of business travel spending and growth covering 75 countries across 48 industries and provides a five-year forward looking forecast. It provides demand-side measurements of all types of business trips and all spending while on a trip.

SUMMARY:SAVE THE DATE: Webinar GBTA Italia - “Global Business Travel Forecast 2023”
DESCRIPTION:Data: 1 dicembre 2022 \nOrario: dalle 10.00 am alle 11.00 am \nLingua: italiano \nI prezzi di viaggio continueranno a crescere non solo in questa parte finale del 2022 ma anche per tutto il 2023. L’aumento dei prezzi del carburante\, la carenza di manodopera e le pressioni inflazionistiche sui costi delle materie prime sono i fattori principali che influenzeranno la crescita. \nQual è la strategia migliore per affrontare questo mercato?  \nDurante il Webinar del 1 dicembre analizzeremo i tratti salienti del “2023 Global Business Travel Forecast” realizzato da CWT e GBTA e con il supporto di Travel Manager e Travel Buyer condivideremo tattiche e idee per disinnescare i rischi e sfruttare al meglio le opportunità che ne conseguono. \nL’evento è possibile grazie agli Annual Partner di GBTA Italia:

SUMMARY:The Dawn of the Employee-Centric Travel Program?
DESCRIPTION:11:00 am to 12:00pm Eastern Time \nThe primary goal of many managed travel programs is to limit cost. Recently\, travel programs have paid greater attention to traveler satisfaction/well-being. In a tight labor market with low unemployment and rising salaries\, an employee-centric travel program can help companies recruit and retain talent. Based on GBTA-Deem research\, this session will examine the role of the user/traveler experience in managed corporate travel. How well do travel programs serve the needs of business travelers? Is traveler experience more important than other objectives such as cost savings? How do travel programs measure employee satisfaction? Do travel programs adequately accommodate employees with disabilities and special needs? What perks and policy changes do business travelers value most? Which booking technology features and innovations are travel managers and business travelers most interested in? \nEvent Speaker \nDavid Grace\, President | Deem \n \nMade possible by \n \n
