"Though hurricane Helene brought the vicissitudes of life to North Carolina, it also revealed the strength and unity of our community. Neighbors, friends & families & co-workers came together to rebuild and support one another, and the unspoken heroes answered the call of duty. While the road to recovery is long, it is reassuring to see rehabilitation efforts in full force. May the passage of time bring healing, and may you discover a steadfast anchor of support and a guiding beacon of hope." At GBTA | North Carolina we are committed to doing our part. On behalf of the entire GBTA | North Carolina Board and Committee members, I invite you to join us at our Golden Giving Gala on November 14th, followed by a day of education and hands-on charity (Operation Christmas Child with Samaritan's Purse) on November 15th, 2024, at the Hilton Charlotte Airport. The event will feature silent and live auctions, with proceeds benefiting The The Above and Beyond Foundation, and the GBTA | North Carolina Scholarship program. We look forward to your participation in this meaningful cause."

It’s Been a Week Since Hurricane Helene – A Message of Support and Hope! Hurricane Helene brought devastating impacts to parts of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and western North Carolina. The destruction of homes, businesses, and communities is heartbreaking, and our thoughts go out to everyone affected by this catastrophic event. In times like these, we come together to support one another, and while the recovery process may be long, we believe in the strength and resilience of the communities involved. Help is available, and there are many resources for those impacted by the storm. Here are some key resources for those affected: FEMA Disaster Assistance: www.disasterassistance.gov American Red Cross: www.redcross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS Operation Airdrop: Assisting with emergency relief supplies Salvation Army: www.salvationarmyusa.org National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD): www.nvoad.org We encourage everyone to support local businesses and relief organizations, and most importantly, to continue spreading hope. Together, we can help these communities rebuild. #GBTANC #HurricaneHelene #SupportLocal #DisasterRelief #CommunityStrong #Hope GBTA Board & Committee Members admin@ncbta.org

✴️CWT and GBTA release latest research: 2025 Global Business Travel Forecast ✴️ “While the past few years have seen significant volatility in travel costs, our latest data suggests a period of relative stability is on the horizon,” said @Patrick Andersen, CWT’s President & Chief Executive Officer. “Businesses can expect to navigate a more predictable pricing environment through 2024 and 2025, allowing for better budget planning and cost management. However, price regularity is fragile. The focus on geopolitical factors, inflationary pressures and ESG concerns remains critical.” @Suzanne Neufang, CEO of @GBTA, added, “The research shows that while a more stable period for travel costs is likely, businesses should remain vigilant to evolving pricing dynamics influenced by global trends. The next few years will require a strategic approach that balances cost management with sustainability, innovation, and responsiveness to market changes. At GBTA, our goal is to empower travel buyers and suppliers with the knowledge they need to adapt their strategies effectively in this shifting landscape.” View the full report here: https://lnkd.in/dnbjrm4V #BusinessTravel #TravelForecast #GBTA #CWT #Sustainability #TravelInnovation #CostManagement
