Buyers are seeing healthier budgets for 2022 than they did six months ago, but travel levels are still unlikely to return to pre-Covid levels for at least two years for most organisations. The latest research for Business Travel Show Europe, which takes place on 29-30 June at ExCeL London, shows how things have changed since the previous survey in September 2021.
The Institute of Travel Management (ITM) has launched a campaign to help travel buyers to “re-enforce the strategic importance” of their roles within their organisations. The move comes after buyers took on more complex extra responsibilities during the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic over the past two years. This has included having to deal with constantly changing travel rules and managing the return of business trips.
