Business Travel in 2021 - Is It Possible to Plan Ahead?

According to a survey conducted by Corporate Traveller, words like ‘challenging, uncertain, difficult, quiet and non-existent’ are just some of the terms used by travel procurement managers to describe the travel industry following the Covid-19 outbreak. “As the year slowly comes to a close, decision-makers are faced with the gargantuan task of attempting to budget and plan for business travel in 2021. The task is daunting not only because finances are tight, but also because nobody has any inkling regarding what the world is going to look like in six to 12 months from now,” says general manager, Oz Desai.

Partners across your travel journey are already investing in sustainability to make an impact to reduce CO2 emissions, invest in bio-fuel, remove single-use plastic, and eliminate waste. This panel will showcase thought leadership of a sustainable travel journey that supports one’s corporate ‘sustainability’ strategy.
