You may have seen on the news this morning that there is a major, worldwide IT outage, which is significantly affecting infrastructure across the globe, including the airline industry.

Several major airlines have grounded all flights, including Delta Air Lines, United and American Airlines. Queues are building up at many airports where electronic terminals are unavailable.

However, Global Travel Management is up and running, with colleagues working hard to manage our customers' business travel. Thanks to the plans we put in place to cover issues like the pandemic, our colleagues are able to work as normal.

Our usual links to airlines are down, but we have switched to a robust back-up system, enabling all colleagues to access airline information and systems.

There is no indication yet as to how long the outage will continue. However, please note that we will continue to work on every itinerary, to ensure as little disruption as possible to any travel plans.

Eighty years ago today, thousands of brave people left our shores on the ultimate journey, many never to return.

It is with pride that we remember their diligence, commitment and sacrifice. And we thank them for the part they played in securing peace in our world.

Our Sales Director, Paul Baker says it's just as important to take care of colleagues' well-being, in a travel policy, as it is to reduce the costs of travel.

Do you agree?

We're immensely pleased and proud to have been nominated as a finalist in the highly coveted Travel Bulletin 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 for 2023.

Our nomination is in the new, crucial category, the 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲. This award has been introduced this year to recognise the efforts the travel industry is making to adopt sustainable policies and practices.

As the inaugural travel management company to launch a sustainable offering with our partners Trees4Travel, we've been recognised for the tremendous success and achievements of the GTM Carbon Offset Programme, as well as the wider efforts of Global Travel Management to head towards - and beyond - net zero across all aspects of the business.

Good luck to the other nominees and congratulations to every business already taking part in the GTM Carbon Offset Programme, which is steadily and increasingly growing trees to sequester carbon from the planet's atmosphere.

Booking a London hotel can be an expensive lottery. You’re constantly weighing up and comparing room rates, while juggling star ratings to try to get the best value for money.

So, at Global Travel Management, we have worked with a small, independent group of hotels to offer our customers a choice of great hotels at a hugely-discounted price.

Gem Hotels is a niche brand of 4-star, central London properties, offering the perfect range of facilities for business travellers, based in the West End, Fitzrovia and South Kensington.

The properties - all recently refurbished to a superb standard - are perfectly located for business meetings in the heart of London, or to extend international trips from London’s airports.

Global Travel Management customers can make use of an exclusive 18% discount against the best available rate at each of these hotels. There’s no code to quote, no blackout dates and no time limit on the discount.

If you need a hotel in central London, want to make use of a fabulous 4-star, centrally located property and would like to book with a huge, exclusive discount, get in touch.

Thank you to Graham Pepe and to Emirates and Arsenal for the complimentary tickets for Global Travel Management and clients to see play the mighty Fulham FC Officia over the weekend.

It was a point earned by the Gunners, but two points dropped by Fulham.

(Although, some might see it the other way round).

Thank you again!

What’s the best thing about working for Global Travel Management?

It’s not just the great customers, fantastic colleagues and brilliant bosses. It’s not just the pizza nights, the evenings at the theatre, the surprise gifts of macarons or the fact we get to share the office with dogs almost every day.

It’s…

…actually it IS the macarons.

Thank you Scott and Natalie. And thank you Macarons & More.

We've put together a sector report on the marine industry. It covers a background to the sector, explaining some of its constituent parts.

Our Sales Director, Paul Baker, explains how companies benefit from having their business travel fully managed - and talks about marine fares, which can save companies in the sector considerable sums when travelling.

And there's a breakdown of some of the biggest, most important and fastest growing companies in the sector, in the UK and across the world.

The UK excels in the marine sector, with world class and innovative companies creating new products, launching great software solutions and ensuring products and services are made available, around the world, as marine exploration and exploitation drives economies around the world.
