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
