Twenty O Six Challenges for Corporate Travel Managers
Melbourne, Australia
2 March 2006
While operating under the constant challenge of finding cost-savings, travel managers in 2006 are further challenged with the need to ratchet up the value delivered by the travel program. This Forum will examine three areas that are certain to get travel manager's attention in 2006. If businesses perceive travel as a productivity tool that supports the strategic goals of the corporation, they must consider the life-work balance of their companies' road warriors and look at ways to make the travel experience both seamless and uneventful. Find out what travel managers can do to improve the travel experience for the company's most valuable asset--their employees. Grabbing industry headlines is the evolving landscape of the distribution channels with the entry of GNEs. Learn what they bring to the market and how they differ in terms of deliverables against GDS products. The forum will also look at what trends are taking shape in business travel procurement and SCM. 2006 is going to be a busy time for Australian travel managers and the global community of business travel managers, so this Forum is great opportunity to be prepared for the challenges ahead.
