Canadian SMEs, making up 98% of businesses and employing nearly two-thirds of the workforce, are the backbone of the economy. Yet 2025 brings challenges: rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, and increased competition.

In the January 2025 edition of CanadianSME Small Business Magazine, our Managing Director, Chris Lynes, emphasizes a vital yet often overlooked strategy: strategic travel management. He shares how businesses can use travel to drive growth, strengthen partnerships, and boost productivity, all while addressing common pain points like delays and disruptions.

Thrilled to see our team thriving in Austin! We’re so grateful for the warm hospitality from and , and the chance to explore such beautiful properties. It’s partnerships like these that enhance our travel experiences and strengthen our connections! 🙌

“Last week I was fortunate enough to embark on a trip with my colleagues from across Canada and the US to Austin, Texas.

This trip was made possible by Delta Air Lines and Sonesta Hotels and we were shown such warmth and hospitality from these two teams which made for such a memorable trip.

We stayed at The Stephen F. Austin Royal Sonesta which just celebrated their 100th year. Such and amazing property with rich history. Thank you Tabitha James and Lori D. for your warm hospitality. 

We also visited the Sonesta Bee Cave offering stunning views and beautiful rooms, as well as Simply Suites & Extended Stay which has all of the amenities needed when travelling for business.

Thank you Paul Connolly and gail branchini for your warm hospitality also and for an amazing dinner. Flying with Delta is such a breeze with your welcoming staff, spacious seats, and amenities like free wifi.

Can’t wait to travel with all of you again!”

Her advice? Grab some travel insurance – it’s way more affordable than you'd expect and can save you from big expenses.
Have you dealt with travel disruptions before? We'd love to hear your stories!
