✈️ What happens when three very different travellers race to Vienna for GBTA Europe? Follow along to find out!

We've challenged temoji consulting to The Great Race to Vienna, putting Avenir to the test in a real-world challenge.

🏆 Paul Tilstone will be a 'road warrior' focused on comfort, loyalty benefits and traveller experience.

🌱 Ian Jones is taking the carbon-conscious route, looking for lower-emissions options without sacrificing practicality.

💷 Katie Virtue is the guest traveller, balancing cost, flexibility and value.

Same destination. Different priorities.

We'll be exploring everything from guest travel and loyalty programmes to changes on the go, service support and post-trip insights.

The question isn't who gets there first.

👉 It's whether one platform can support every traveller differently whilst keeping the whole programme connected and on schedule.

We will add in a few unexpected challenges along the way, so stay tuned to follow their journey! And let us know in the comments: who’s your bet to win?

A travel program that’s a revenue driver, not just a cost center? 📈 Tell us more!

According to a study from the Global Business Travel Association - GBTA and ASTA - American Society of Travel AdvisorsSociety of Travel Advisors, companies with strategically managed travel programs outperform peers by up to 30% in revenue.

What’s even better? 👉 Every 1% increase in managed travel spend is associated with a 0.2% rise in revenue.

Yet, many orgs still struggle with fragmented systems, policy leakage, and an undermanaged approach that hides real costs. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
