Manufacturing business travel is more than an administrative expense: it helps engineers reach customer sites, supports installations, strengthens supplier relationships and keeps critical projects moving.

Managing travel effectively can reduce disruption, improve visibility and traveller support, and ensure employees can focus on the operational work that takes them away from base.

The recent Booking.com cyber incident highlights how exposed travellers can be when booking through unmanaged platforms, with hackers using real reservation data to launch convincing phishing attacks - raising serious concerns for business travel and duty of care.

For organisations, it underlines the growing risk of fragmented booking environments and reinforces the need for a controlled, secure approach to business travel that protects both people and data.

Global Travel Management has introduced Trip Risk Alerts to keep business travellers and their colleagues up to date on geopolitical travel risks.

Business travel has never been more essential - or more complex. While organisations work hard to fulfil their duty of care, staying fully informed in real time is often the biggest challenge.

We’re excited to open up our Trip Risk Alerts service to any individual across our customer companies - free of charge.
