GBTA Brings Industry Voices to Capitol Hill to Champion Business Travel
More than 100 members and constituents of GBTA converged this week in Washington, D.C. for the GBTA U.S. Legislative Summit 2025 to advocate for the vital role and value of business travel. Through meetings with Senators, Representatives and congressional staff, members from GBTA’s 38 U.S. chapters shared insights and championed policies to advance business travel’s impact as an economic driver and to create a more connected and resilient travel ecosystem.
Summit attendees heard perspectives directly from members of Congress including Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nevada) and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Washington), as well as from various experts on critical topics. In close to 150 meetings with legislators, attendees shared and asked for support around GBTA’s policy priorities for U.S. business travel.
GBTA also announced Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Washington) and Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) as the 2025 recipients of the “GBTA Navigator Award,” recognizing their contributions in championing business travel in the U.S.
“For more than two decades, GBTA has hosted legislative fly-ins to connect business travel experts with U.S. policymakers to foster understanding, advocate for priority issues and facilitate a better experience for business travelers. By promoting the strategic role of business travel in driving economies, innovation, jobs and strategic collaboration, we foster a more resilient future for business travelers and those who support them,” said Suzanne Neufang, CEO, GBTA.
