09:35 Special presentation: “Flight shaming” and government taxes. What are the implications for corporate travel?
In Europe the enormous publicity attracted by a sixteen year old Swedish girl has rattled the airline industry and is prompting government talk of aviation taxes to reduce flying.
  • Will our region go through the same turmoil? 
  • Will there be a similar, Europop revolution? 
  • How will governments respond? 
  • When will airlines make carbon offsets mandatory?
The answers to these questions will be critical to aviation and to how corporates function in the near and medium term future.

10:20 Wellbeing: How can we look after our travellers without expanding the cost?
Life as a mobile worker can bring unforeseen stress and strain. When on a business trip or deployed in a foreign country, people may be exposed to unexpected situations, minor or severe. Distance from loved ones, new environments or a serious accident can all trigger stress and anxiety.

At a time when the International Labour Organisation (ILO) considers work-related stress as a “21st-century disease”, emotional support is often considered to be the missing link in a comprehensive Travel Risk Mitigation program.
  • How can organisations ensure the mental wellbeing of its travellers?
  • What warning signs should organisations look for?
  • What case studies of best practise exist around the world?
