Membership Insights Survey |
|
Dear All,
A couple of weeks back GBTA sent out a Membership Survey. And yes, I know, there are a lot of surveys going out all the time from all directions. However, this one is special in my opinion.
This is a survey about what value is there to you in a GBTA membership – and what is not. Your response will help guide GBTA to create the best possible membership content - even down to regions, countries, chapters, industries and so on.
For the record – it is a brief survey. I just timed it for myself and 3 minutes is all it took. Just 3 minutes - yet, it is so important …
So please take those couple of minutes, fill in the Membership Survey - and let your voice be heard ;v)
Thanks,
Jens Liltorp, CCTE

New GBTA Podcast
Preparing for the New World of Airline Retailing
Changes in airline distribution mean that corporate travel managers may soon no longer have access to the same fares and products as they are accustomed through their traditional channels. What this means to individual corporates will depend on which airline, TMC and OBT they are using. In this podcast three travel buyers will discuss how they are preparing for the evolution of airline distribution and what corporates can do to ensure that their travel program is NDC ready.
Tune in to listen to this discussion between our buyers: Ben Park, Chair of the GBTA Europe Advisory Board; Rita Visser, Director Global Travel Sourcing & GPO at Oracle; and Carlos Almendros, Global Procurement Service Leader (Travel) at Cisco.
