Business travel management means keeping travellers safe and secure:

Businesses have a duty of care (DoC) to employees travelling on business. It’s important to keep a record of who’s travelling where at any time, in case of emergency. That might mean a situation at the destination, such as a fire or outbreak of disease, where the employer would need to alert the employee and advise them on how to stay safe and get home.

one of the most important aspects of business travel management is negotiating and managing travel suppliers:

This is an ongoing process, to ensure the best options and rates are available to employees. Gathering and analysing data about journeys and destinations can help travel managers spot trends in employee travel and make sure their changing needs are met. For example, strong growth in business in the Far East means checking there are hotels offering favourable rates in the areas where sales reps need to visit customers. Teams may benchmark rates to check they are getting a good deal and seek traveller feedback to make sure accommodation and travel facilities are safe and reliable.

4-10 World's Favorite Cities:
Tokyo

Despite earthquakes, tsunamis and typhoons, Tokyo has long held on to its top spot as the safest metropolis on the planet. For the past six years in our global ranking, Tokyo ranked no lower than Top 3 in our Safety subcategory, including #1 last year. But in a year that has sideswiped Tokyo like few other cities, given the massive investment and subsequent uncertainty around the Summer Olympic Games, the Japanese capital has plummeted by 46 spots for Safety and now sits middle-of-the-pack among our Top 100.


The city remains incredibly safe, of course, even though the sight of young kids playing and walking to school unattended is today more rare given the wave after wave of COVID variants among a population that remains—at about a third as of August 2021—among the least vaccinated.

3-10 World's Favorite Cities:
Dubai

Dubai is a city of superlatives: you can ride the elevator to the top of the world’s tallest building for a bird’s-eye view, bet on the ponies at the world’s richest horse race and pose for photos in front of the world’s tallest choreographed fountains. These experiences are not by accident: the city reinvented itself yet again throughout the 2010s, growing from a sterile playground for a handful of ultra-rich Emiratis to an international tourism and business destination. That has helped attract the highest proportion of foreign-born population of any city worldwide, and they’re a sharp crowd, ranking #23 for Educational Attainment globally.

2-10 World's Favorite Cities:
Berlin

One of the many favorite outdoor pastimes of locals is to picnic on the banks of the river Spree. There is hardly a better place than the Insel der Jugend, and there might even be free live music if you’re lucky.

Keeping to the watery theme, you can also get a little of that Venice feeling without having to leave the city. Grab a kayak or canoe and paddle from Stößensee via Little Venice to the Havel Canal. Just don’t forget the sunscreen.

1-10 World's Favorite Cities:

New York City

It’s estimated nearly 800 different languages are spoken in NYC, so chances are you’ll hear a new accent around every corner. One of the best ways to celebrate the city’s diversity is by heading to Chinatown—one of the largest and oldest in the world.

For a flower-filled hideaway and colorful photos, visit the vibrant NYC Flower District in Chelsea. This hidden gem does require a reasonably early start to your day, but getting to spend a morning surrounded by plants and petals is sure to boost your mood for hours to come.

Key Benefits of International Business Travel To Your Team:
4-4 Easier to deal with different time zones:
When in a face-to-face meeting, you tend to have the full attention of the people that you are speaking to. When on a video call, you might find that people in the meeting aren't paying as much attention. They could be looking at social media or answering emails and not be fully engaged. In a face-to-face meeting, the likelihood of this happening is significantly reduced.

Key Benefits of International Business Travel To Your Team:

2-4 Building relationships:

Many customers prefer face-to-face meetings as business is often about more than what you can offer as an organisation—it's also about relationships and finding people and corporate philosophies that are in synergy together. This is much easier to do in person, where small talk and more natural interactions can occur between people and teams.

Key Benefits of International Business Travel To Your Team:

1-4 There are a number of benefits of face-to-face meetings with colleagues or clients, and these include:

Being able to read body language. It can be difficult to pick up on the non-verbal cues when speaking virtually. Humans have the ability to pick up on subtle micro expressions that people give off, and adapt accordingly. This can help with competitiveness and closing deals that might otherwise be lost if those micro expressions are not picked up on - which is hard to do virtually!
