In continuing its mission of providing unparalleled educational opportunities for the business travel professional, the GBTA Academy partnered with The Wharton School to create a masters-level of learning for those responsible for corporate travel decisions: The Global Leadership Professional® program. 

The GLP program is the only course for the travel management professional offered at the master's level. With the GBTA Foundation's financial support, travel professionals can participate in the GLP program at a fraction of the cost of similar, top-tier management programs.

The focus of the Global Leadership Professional® program is strategic. It is more than a travel management program; it uses an interdisciplinary approach that addresses both the opportunities and challenges of conducting business in today's environment. The program aims to provide individuals with the keys to create value for corporations and customers, and to inspire professional achievement.
