Episode 1: A Shifting Landscape - Business Travel Insights

 

While the automation of business travel is a significant innovation today, tomorrow it will be status quo. Trends like direct booking and focusing on the user experience are something every organization will need to face.

In this episode you’ll learn about:

  • The attitudes travel buyers have around travel, risk management, and the optimization of international business travel in their organizations
  • The risk of not capturing spend when employees book outside of the corporate booking tool and associated challenges with managing costs, maintaining compliance, and performing duty of care
  • How other organizations are using technology to mitigate the risk of invisible spend through personalization, automation, and simplification
