Welcome to The BTA Podcast.  In these podcasts we will endeavour to share our thoughts, concerns, optimism and build those all-important human connections with our Partners, Members and Guests.

Episode Overview:

In this episode of The BTA Pulse, Clive and Andrew recap a busy fortnight for the Business Travel Association, starting with our Aviation Conference, which brought together 80 delegates from across airlines and the TMC community. Key outcomes include a new action group tackling ADMs - long overdue conversations around the cost and inefficiency affecting both airlines and travel managers. Content parity also surfaced as a priority, with a working group now forming to drive best practice.

The pair also highlight the BTA's newly launched accessibility guide for travel consultants, which has generated remarkable industry feedback, alongside updates from the People & Talent Conference, where conversations around future skills and HR's role took centre stage.

Andrew shares his experience giving evidence at Westminster on the proposed UK visitor levy, while both hosts vent frustration at the ongoing EES entry/exit scheme challenges at European borders.
