GBTA Global Advocacy Newsletter – June 2025

Welcome to the latest edition of our GBTA Advocacy Newsletter, your essential resource for staying informed and engaged in the policy discussions shaping the future of business travel.

This month, we are pleased to reflect on a significant milestone: our 2025 U.S. Legislative Summit, where over 100 members from 35 Chapters conducted more than 120 meetings on Capitol Hill to advocate for the issues that are most important to our industry. From clean fuel incentives to modernizing airport infrastructure and rail funding, our collective voice was effectively communicated.

Our influence extends beyond Washington. In this edition, we also highlight GBTA’s efforts in Brussels, where advocacy for business travel was presented in EU policymaking; Segovia, where the UN Tourism welcomed its first female leader; and Bangkok, where discussions are progressing regarding a Schengen-style visa for Southeast Asia. Whether it pertains to improving cross-border rail or celebrating 40 years of Schengen, GBTA is actively involved, ensuring your perspective is represented at every opportunity.

We appreciate your participation in this endeavor. Continue with us as we analyze the developments impacting our industry, and the policies that will shape its next phase.
