Mark Harris, Director, Travel Intelligence Network is taking part in a panel at 14:30 on 22 February at the Business Travel Show: Strengthen your relationship with your TMC. For a free visitor pass, please visit www.businesstravelshow.com.
Please sum up your conference
session in one sentence.
Every TMC tries to
differentiate itself with mixed results. In our session, we will set out to
establish what the foundations of a really strong TMC/client relationship are.
Why is it a must-attend for travel
managers?
To find solutions to a
problem that undermines so many relationships.
What is the biggest challenge facing
the business travel industry this year and why?
Balancing the need to
personalise travel programmes with controlling costs in an increasingly
uncertain economic climate.
And what is the biggest opportunity
for travel managers and why?
The global workforce is
becoming increasingly mobile, so travel managers should take a more holistic
look and engage with HR to deliver mobility rather than purely travel focused
programmes.
Interrupters/sharing economy
suppliers – a help or a hindrance?
Fact of life. They are
not going to go away so corporates need to work out whether to embrace them,
and if so how.
How will Brexit affect your job?
Depends on the knock-on
effect of economic instability upon travel sector marketing budgets.
Why are you looking forward to
speaking at/attending the Business Travel Show?
Opportunity to engage
with industry professionals, colleagues and friends.
