FUNDAMENTALS OF BUSINESS TRAVEL MANAGEMENT (CTE) Introduction

For most companies, travel is the second largest controllable expense.  In order to control the expense, you must know how to manage travel spend.  The Fundamentals of Business Travel Management course is GBTA’s starter course focusing on the basics of business travel management.  This course is designed as a guide to the primary components of managed travel.  Attendees will learn how each component intersects with the required competencies and skill sets needed in business travel management.  The Fundamentals course teaches participants to maximize cost containment, improve efficiency, and create a managed travel culture in a company.  Attendees will learn from expert course facilitators on the subjects of travel safety and security, travel spending trends, and benchmark metrics.  An overview of business travel technology will be included, along with a comprehensive discussion on travel policy, savings opportunities, and calculating the ROI of a managed travel program.
