๐Ÿ“ข Only 4 days to go!

We are on the final week of preparations for our annual Brighter Together Staff Conference & Awards ๐ŸŽ‰

This year aims to be the best one yet as we integrate with our colleagues from Agiito and bring the best in all under one roof. We'll hear from people across the business while gearing up for some exciting news about the future of the company!

We couldn't do this event without the help of our suppliers who will be on show at the supplier fair, with Air Canada / United Airlines and IHG Hotels & Resorts taking centre stage as our headline sponsors ๐Ÿ™Œ

We can't wait to have all our people together for a day of engaging updates then onto a fun filled night of awards!

We were delighted to be invited to play its part in The BTA Accommodation Conference in London yesterday!

In the afternoon the focus was on Corporate Rate Increases for 2024 where Clarityโ€™s Head of Land Product, Suzanne Barnes, was on hand to join the panel.

She said: โ€œI welcomed taking part in the discussion about rate increases and how buyers can best manage their budgets. Above all, I love networking with like-minded colleagues within the TMC community discussing the hot topics in the industry.

โ€œIt was great to hear from the hotel partners about the challenges they are facing and what TMCs can do to support them.โ€

Take a look at our blog below to see what our friends at Greengage had to say about Sustainability and Emission Reduction in the Accommodation Industry โฌ‡๏ธ

The busiest year yet โ€“ thatโ€™s the tale of the stats for 2023 and our Travel Alerts team who look after clients for Clarity, Destination Sport and Elegant Resorts.

In total, they actioned just over 5,500 alerts, an increase of 14% on the previous 12 months. From a client update point of view this equated to more than 2,500,000 client emails and nearly 800 social media updates throughout the year!

The Travel Alerts team said: โ€œ2023 has proved to be a very busy year for us. From typhoons to earthquakes, freak storms to global unrest, this year has been full of challenges.

โ€œThe 24-hour, 365 days a year service that the team provide can be testing, but we pride ourselves in keeping our clients up to date with the latest information."

Since 2019, travel alert incidents have risen by 87% and 2024 is sure to be another busy year ๐ŸŒ

๐ŸŽ‰ We want to give a big shout-out to all our travel managers ๐ŸŽ‰

This week is the first-ever Corporate Travel Management Appreciation Week and we want to celebrate the incredible travel managers in our business ๐ŸŒ

This appreciation week, a brainchild of Business Travel News Europe, is all about acknowledging the dedication and positivity the teams bring to the travel industry!

Donna Fitzgerald, Clarityโ€™s Executive Director of Business Travel, said:

โ€œOur customers are vital to the success of our business, so we take the time to invest in ways to support the corporate travel community โ€“ whether it is the workshops and events or the programmes we collaborate on so they can connect safely, sustainably and cost effectively.

โ€œItโ€™s great that this week gives the sector an opportunity to recognise travel managers for what they do and the role they play in driving the industry forward.โ€

So letโ€™s raise a glass to each and every travel manager as we celebrate their contribution to the $1.3 trillion global business travel industry.

Wholesome Friday at our East Kilbride office ๐Ÿ’›

The team up in Scotland have been collecting donations of food, toiletries and toys to give to their local Food Bank and Toy Drive (EK Community Food Bank) since the start of November!

It's not just about looking at how many flights you take each month, we need to factor in the social aspects of your sustainability plan and how Clarity and One Global Travel can assist with it ๐ŸŒ

โžก๏ธ This might be finding sustainable suppliers in a certain region where we have partner TMC's, or it could be highlighting areas where we can do social good.

Joining the One Global community allows you to work with the best independent TMC's across the globe to provide a truly sustainable environment by sharing the benefits worldwide in each local market.

Tomorrow is a significant day in the travel industry with Virgin Atlantic set to make the worlds first transatlantic flight using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) โœˆ๏ธ

SAF is an alternative fuel derived from renewable sources that is said to reduce emissions from air transportation by up to 80%, fundamentally reshaping aviation into a less carbon-intensive mode of travel โ™ป๏ธ

Is SAF the future of sustainable travel? Take a look at our latest blog for more information โฌ‡๏ธ

The call for sustainable solutions in aviation is more crucial than ever, given the unprecedented gravity of climate change.

However, there are times where external factors impact businesses and their budgets!

A recent example of this is the series of rail strikes across the UK. These strikes have attracted attention for their impact on daily commuters, but another group feeling the pinch is the companies these commuters work for.

The disruption caused by rail strikes are hitting corporate budgets hard, find out how companies are grappling with the financial implications below โฌ‡๏ธ
