All indications point to an ongoing recovery in corporate travel following two “slow and low” years. The global economy, buoyed by strong performances in emerging markets, is expanding more strongly than foreseen, and travelers are back on the road in increasing numbers.

But how will the recovery affect programs in 2011? With airfares and hotel rates set to climb, travel managers and buyers will need to aggressively and creatively manage purchasing, costs and services in a volatile environment.

In this online education event, ACTE, Advito, and BCD Travel will present the findings of Advito’s 2011 Industry Forecast and offer insight into addressing the industry trends and developments that will impact travel programs across the globe.

Topics covered during the session will include:

• Forecasts for air, hotel and ground transportation
• Key industry developments and their effect on managed travel
• The influence of global and regional macroeconomic factors
• Key tactics for optimizing supplier negotiations
