It’s starting up again – slowly but steadily Business Travel reloaded. The business travellers are waiting in the wings. Is your company ready when it starts again? We hope you and your teams have had a good start to the New Year. Of course, we wish you all the very best, much success and good health. May it be a year in which we finally leave the still prevailing pandemic behind us. Despite the still prevailing COVID-19 restrictions, October and November have shown that we are slowly heading back towards “normality” in business travel. Although the Omicron variant has
As usual, lots of business travel events will take place in autumn. Hardly a week without a customer event of a TMC or a regional or even international major event. That makes the decision where we should be present with our teams very difficult. With the ACTE Global Summit 2019 in Amsterdam, one of the most important events of the season is just around the corner. Unfortunately, we will probably not be present at this year’s ACTE Global Summit 2019 from 23 – 25 October 2019 at the Postillion Hotel & Convention Centre in Amsterdam. And this despite the

This years Business Travel Show / Travel Technology Europe and the ITB 2019 are history. At travelBrain we now have started to focus on the planning for some the local Swiss events scheduled for the rest of the year. One of them is the ACTE Education Forum to be held for the first time in Basel at the SET Residence by Teufelhof on 27 June 2019. The prep work for the 2019 event is in full swing. The organising committee led by Stephanie Smook together with the Advisory board is currently finalising the agenda for Basel. The ACTE motto
Once again, a proven specialist in the field of travel management decided to work with travelBrain. I am particularly pleased that with Corinna Döpkens another colleague is working under the travelBrain flag since a couple of weeks. For new and existing travelBrain customers she develops sustainable solutions and offers innovative products and services. Corinna accompanies the customer from the first interview to the status analysis and requirements gathering to the creation of a concept / offer and remains as part of a holistic support contact during the entire project For Corinna it was important to broaden her self-employment, which
Daniel Wittwer and his team at Finass Reisen in Wetzikon are once again making their mark on the local business travel market. As the first business travel specialist in Switzerland and perhaps even in Europe, Finass has fully integrated Lufthansa Group’s NDC solution into its own process landscape. This means that Finass will continue to have access to both the light fares which are currently no longer available in GDS and Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines’ so-called “Continuous Pricing”. However, the NDC connection also has its drawbacks.
