09:35	Special presentation: “Flight shaming” and government taxes. What are the implications for corporate travel? In Europe the enormous publicity attracted by a sixteen year old Swedish girl has rattled the airline industry and is prompting government talk of aviation taxes to reduce flying. Will our region go through the same turmoil? Will there be a similar, Europop revolution? How will governments respond? When will airlines make carbon offsets mandatory? The answers to these questions will be critical to aviation and to how corporates function in the near and medium term future.

Empower and Educate your travellers
There’s a common belief that strongly mandated and restrictive travel policies, high levels of control and top-down directives to increase compliance are paramount to the success of a travel program.
We take a different approach and believe in the benefits of a corporate travel program that informs, motivates and satisfies your travellers and leadership so you can sustain a culture of judicious travel demand and well-considered traveller behaviour. How do we achieve this? With a holistic approach that spans collaboration, policy, marketing and digital communication to make your travellers enthusiastic supporters of your travel program.
Join us for a 30-minute hands-on session on how to engage your travellers to educate them and empower them to make the right decisions, before they travel, when they are on the road and when they return home.
