New GBTA Podcast

GBTA Board View:
Regional Insights on Business Travel

Globally, business travel is moving into a new and next chapter. But how does global transformation in how people are traveling for work now compare – or contrast – to the realities in key regions around the world? In this episode, Europe-based GBTA Board President, Mark Cuschieri, is joined for a topical discussion by fellow Board members bringing their regionally focused expertise: Peter Koh, Ex-Officio Member for APAC, Liz Oliveria, Direct Seat, Regional Canada, and Felipe Cardona, Ex-Officio Member for LATAM. The group explores the overall sentiment for business travel for the year ahead as well as key areas like remote work, the evolving preferences of travelers, the role of sustainability, and more.
