Visions
for Business Travel Management |
| |
|
Over
the next few years, globalisation and increased competition
in the market, will result in more business travel and more
"mobile workers" than ever. Striving for cost efficiency,
corporations and in particular senior management will look towards
worldwide corporate travel management solutions.
Business consultant Paddy Walker, will guide you through recent
trends and share future visions for travel management.

Wireless
Travel Management - Way to go? |
| |
|
Mobile
phones allow today's travellers to access the latest news, read
emails, check calendars, book and cancel flight tickets or hotel
accommodation. All of which is very helpful and time saving,
but how does this impact global travel management? Should you
adopt a "wireless" strategy and how will it affect
your global travel policy? Presentation by: Jorma Vesterinen

Future
Distribution Strategies: New Roles and Solutions |
| |
|
The
last few years have seen the roles of airlines, travel agencies
and corporate buyers change tremendously. New partnerships are
built up and value-adding products are launched at short notice
and with regularity.
What will our future roles look like and what challenges face
the various parties involved as we embrace new distribution
strategies?
