Industry Leaders Overview: The essential checklist for a successful return to travel

As corporates look to begin travelling again, the landscape of the industry looks very different to what it did pre-pandemic. The traveller journey itself is more complex and companies with a mobile workforce have new standards to meet for traveller duty of care and a different set of criteria to address when it comes to risk management.

In this important discussion, we bring together industry leaders to help travel managers navigate the post-pandemic travel landscape.

The new traveller journey – what does it involve and how are TMCs supporting clients?

What’s at stake for companies with a mobile workforce when it comes to duty of care and risk management?

What role does the TMC have in a post-pandemic world?

What role will innovation and technology have on the future of corporate travel?

How are companies pivoting towards carbon neutrality?

What are the toolkits that travel managers will need to be successful to measure and report on carbon footprints and reduce the overall impact of travel on the environment?

CTC Masterclass – Corporate travel policy: Evolving to meet the changing industry structure.

The business travel landscape will look different tomorrow than it did yesterday. How different? It is still too early to define, but even if it looks similar there will be some short-term and permanent shifts in corporate travel policy. The Coronavirus pandemic has left an indelible mark on the sector and is having to adjust to the constantly changing environment.  

Traveller habits will be different; businesses will look more closely at the necessity of in-person meetings versus the time and cost savings of technology substitute; costs will face increased scrutiny and environmental and sustainability drives will become the key driver of policy.  

Whether a travel buyer, a TMC, hotel or other accommodation provider, airline, airport, mobility services provider, there is a need to evolve to the changing industry structure.  

In this session experts from across this sector will explore some of the key trends that will influence corporate travel policy in the COVID-19 recovery. Discussion points will include:  

  • How changing airline networks will impact travel decisions 
  • Supporting traveller sentiment: finding the right balance of corporate control  
  • The hotel experience: what will it really look like longer-term 
  • How sustainability will be a key influence at the heart of travel programmes
