A NUMBER of travel managers were given a detailed half day session on how businesses are using travel to build a competitive advantage during a joint event by American Express Global Business Travel (AEGBT) and the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (TCTE) last week.
Trena Blair, vp and gm of AEGBT for AUS/NZ said the session provided an invaluable insight into ways for travel managers to increase both value and efficiency for their clients.
The day included sessions on how a strategic meetings and events program can reduce costs, the role of data analysis in optimising travel policy spending & compliance, and ways corporations and TMCs are taking steps to reduce their affects on the environment without increasing costs.
