The recent "Navan European Business Travel Guide" offers valuable insights that every travel manager and business leader should consider. 📈 Growth Amidst Challenges: Business travel in Europe has shown remarkable resilience, with steady growth since 2021. However, this growth comes with its own set of challenges, particularly rising costs. ✈️ Air Travel Evolution: While airfare prices surged in 2022, we're seeing stabilization in 2023. The game-changer? New Distribution Capability (NDC). Companies leveraging NDC through their TMCs can potentially save up to 12% on airfare. 🚆 The Rise of Rail: Rail travel is gaining traction as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative. It's crucial for companies to expand their rail options to support both cost savings and sustainability goals. 🏨 Hotel Strategies: Despite rising hotel rates, innovative approaches like incentive programs (e.g., Navan Rewards) are proving effective in encouraging cost-conscious bookings. 💡 Strategic Recommendations: - Partner with NDC-connected TMCs - Establish clear, comprehensive travel policies - Expand rail travel options - Implement cost-saving incentive programs The landscape of business travel is evolving rapidly. To stay ahead, companies must embrace technology, prioritize sustainability, and foster a culture of cost-consciousness without compromising traveler satisfaction. What strategies is your organization implementing to optimize business travel? Are you leveraging NDC or exploring rail alternatives? https://lnkd.in/e7-paTD6

Are you hearing conflicting messages that your company doesn't need negotiated rates and/or approval for business travel? Do you question why some travellers book whatever hotel they want outside of your #travelmanagementcompany? ✋ Managing a #businesstravel program means visibility on the cost of business travel to your business, knowing where your travellers are in case of an emergency and pinpointing areas where you can maximise your company’s precious business travel spend 💲 to enable people to meet face to face, whether it’s for internal gatherings or customer meetings. You may also be dealing with travellers that like to shop around on leisure sites, who believe they might have find a ‘better deal' somewhere else. Often, they don't understand the duty of care and cost ramifications to the company by booking outside of your managed program. Nor the volume commitments your company has with hotels (that are popular with your travellers at large...), or the compliance and audit processes your company needs, enabled by approval for business travel ✅ With American Express Global Business Travel's marketplace and Egencia's powerful analytics and #machinelearning baked into the shopping and booking experience, there’s no need to shop around. And you get complete visibility on spend. Read more about the tools and features available to your travellers from Daniel Dakessian 👇 https://lnkd.in/ekexbNZj
