GBTA Convention 2024

The 55th Annual GBTA Convention opened its doors on July 22 at the Georgia World Congress Center. This year, Trip.Biz sets up at Booth #4461.

On July 23, we contributed to the "Around the World Session for APAC" panel discussion. Eugene Tan, Head of International Transportation at Trip.Biz, shared insights on the Asia-Pacific business travel market, ranging from global inflation impact to business travel, NDC, payment solutions, hotel program management and etc.

APAC region is set to play a significant role in the global business travel industry, with over 42% of the total spending in 2023. Singapore, where Trip.Biz headquarters is located, is the top business travel destination in the region.

With a nearly 20-year history of reliability and trust from all business ranges, Trip.Biz is adding to the Asia-Pacific market with all-in-one digital travel management solutions. We aim to unlock boundless opportunities for businesses to save on corporate travel management.

The world of business travel is transforming. Two major changes noticeable in the marketplace are in distribution and service. The first one is changes in distribution. These changes include not only air and NDC but the whole restructuring within the distribution. The second is emerging technologies, such as AI. GBTA's 55th convention lasted three days, dedicating each day to a particular key theme and uncovering all the points of change within the industry.

We are grateful to bring the value of APAC insight to the 55th GBTA Conference. Regional insights on business travel can help understand the unique features of travelers from a particular part of the world and their common routes, highlighting the most popular business travel destinations. Business travel has long been a catalyst, indicating the most appealing places where people head to do business and marking the areas of future economic growth worldwide.
