👣 On Saturday October 19 you can join thousands of people across hundreds of cities around the world to raise awareness of human trafficking with A21’s 10th Walk For Freedom. Through our strategic partnership with A21 we’re committed to raising awareness on this global human rights issue as an estimated 50 million people are in modern slavery. As a travel industry leader, we use our reach to educate employees, travelers and partners about human trafficking and child exploitation, and the role they can play in combating it. All with the support and guidance of our BCD Human Trafficking Awareness Committee. Register for the walk and learn more about how you can take action here ➡️ https://ow.ly/syiv50TJsln The A21 Campaign #EndHumanTrafficking #EndChildExploitation #HumanRights #StrongerTogether #BCDTravel

How will AI transform the business travel sector? Our Joanna Greenfield shared where AI can really make an impact on TMCs and their customers in a panel session at The BTA's autumn conference in Gibraltar. Here are just some of the panel‘s takeaways: 💡 Generative AI’s ability to mirror human intelligence means it could transform both back-end processes and customer experiences. 💡 Generative AI removes the need for entry-level admin jobs, making it easier and quicker to train new entrants to deal with travel requests – which in turn will help drive recruitment and retention of people into the industry. 💡 In response to the increasing number of AI related questions in RFPs Joanna said: “As travel management companies, we need to make sure that our clients understand that it’s the value TMCs put behind the AI automation that will drive benefits, not the technology itself.” 💡 The current challenge is data ownership. With no regulatory board responsible for AI, we need to work very closely with the data security and legal departments to ensure that the great innovations don’t grind to a halt. #BTAGibraltar24 #BusinessTravel #TravelManagement #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation
