A little while ago we asked our clients to tell us how the COVID-19 pandemic had affected their business travel. Working closely with the\u00a0Department for Transport and The Business Travel Association\u00a0(The BTA) we wanted to find out what changes our clients were experiencing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We believed that by understanding what\u00a0has impacted our clients outbound business travel and travel habits, that this information could help the\u00a0Department for Transport\u00a0forecast future demand for business travel.\u00a0The questions we asked covered company\u2019s views, experiences and activities over the past few months. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Department for Transport has now analysed those results and released its initial findings.\u00a0We have compiled some of the key findings below and you can download the full report here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

From these results, it’s clear that many businesses are either in the advanced stages or have already returned to travel, but ensuring their travellers wellbeing is their highest priority. Understandably, many businesses are also showing concerns as to whether their travellers will want to travel.<\/p>\n

Here at Gray Dawes we understand that navigating the changes on your own can be difficult. That’s why our Account Management team have been helping our clients to identify and then eliminate (or at least mitigate) risk wherever possible. By making changes to your travel policy to reflect the current situation, for example, and understanding the wants and needs of your travellers, you can help alleviate traveller concerns and begin to build confidence in a solid business travel solution.<\/p>\n

With travel risk and safety concerns impacting both companies and travellers, it’s more important than ever to have a TMC who cares. So, why not get in touch? We’ll help guide you through the changes affecting business travel and develop a travel programme that’s fit for purpose in the new normal.<\/p>\n

To help you navigate the changes of business travel, we\u2019ve created the brand-new Traveller Toolkit<\/strong><\/a>. This invaluable online resource is packed full of easy-to-use guides and checklists for every stage of every journey. We detail exactly what you need to know and do before, during and after your trip.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also find innovative and interactive virtual trips<\/a><\/strong>, which walk you through each step of\u00a0 being at the airport, on the train and in the hotel. You can even check the travel restrictions and health status of your destination with our comprehensive COVID-19 Country Tracker, updated five times daily to ensure you have the very latest information to help keep you and your travellers safe.<\/p>\n

Travel is changing. But, as Joerg experienced, with common sense and a good TMC behind you, travellers should have the confidence to once again take to the skies. It\u2019ll soon be business as (un)usual.<\/p>\n
