LONDON, March 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corporate travel does not only provide a huge revenue stream for the travel industry, it supports all sectors of the global economy. It is, however, changing rapidly as a result of technological developments and fierce competition, leaving many businesses struggling to keep up. In many ways, 2017 was a difficult year for business travellers. Natural disasters in Central and North America, as well as the Indian subcontinent, alongside the travel bans imposed by US President Donald Trump, contributed to an atmosphere of uncertainty. In this unreliable climate, travel risk management became more of a challenge.
Conversely, technology continued to make business travel easier than ever last year. Developments in booking platforms, digital payments and communications have simultaneously made travel arrangements easier and allowed corporate travellers to remain aware of everything taking place back home. The organisations that have best adopted these new innovations, and created many of their own, are recognised by the Business Destinations Travel Awards 2017.
Over the past year, our award winners have demonstrated an acute awareness of the bespoke requirements held by business travellers and reflected this through their outstanding levels of service. Regardless of whether they specialise in MICE, luxury travel, eco-tourism or any other branch of this diverse industry, the award recipients have shown that, for them, being simply good is not good enough.
Instead, they have gone above and beyond to design products and services that ensure travel is not just easy but enjoyable too. Our award winners have created an environment where corporate travellers no longer have to choose between business and pleasure on their trips – they can experience both.
To see the full list of our 2017 winners, pick up the latest issue of Business Destinations, available both in print and online now.
