Key topics driving conversations at the event.
Across live demos, panel discussions, engaging talks and numerous one-on-one chats, five recurring themes emerged as hot topics within the industry.
1. Fragmented Bookings Cost Time and Money
Business travel is complex. Managing multiple local suppliers and ride-hailing apps can result in fragmented bookings. It becomes difficult to maintain control over costs, streamline processes, and ensure the safety and wellbeing of travellers.
CMAC brings all that in one place, giving you more availability in more cities and countries, with more peace of mind and cost control.
2. Actionable Data & Automation
The demand for automation and actionable data in business travel is louder than ever. Travel Managers and TMCs are seeking new ways to reduce the manual burden, streamline workflows, and leverage data to make smarter decisions. At the Business Travel Show, it was clear that the industry is hungry for solutions that offer:
- Real-time visibility into travel spend
- Automated booking processes for international taxis
- Seamless integration with existing travel management systems
- Emissions data to support with sustainability targets
- Proactive insights to optimise travel programmes
3. Sustainability
The conversation around sustainability was front and centre at the event, with discussions ranging from geopolitical risks to the carbon footprint of travel. Reducing emissions with eco-friendly and safe international taxi options is top priority in 2025.
4. Proactive Passenger Safety Standards
There is a significant spotlight on increasing passenger safety requirements across the board. Providing full journey visibility, 24/7 support, vetted and qualified drivers and a compliant network of trusted suppliers is more paramount than ever.
5. The Power of Modern Technology
It was inspiring to see so many innovative tech solutions showcased at the event. From AI-powered travel apps to new ways of sourcing hotels, the buzz in the Tech Zone was unmistakable.
We’re excited to see how tech innovations continue to evolve, empowering businesses and their people. We’re proud to be at the forefront of integrating smart tech into the international taxi and accommodation space - it's that intersection of people-powered tech that is invaluable.
With the event featuring insightful sessions like AI in Action, Sustainable Business Travel, and Hotel Sourcing Trends, it’s clear that the future of travel management is adapting in line with the evolving requirements of travel managers, businesses and TMCs alike.
What’s next?
Chief Executive Office, Peter Slater, says “We're excited to continue pushing the boundaries as we continue to embrace cutting-edge technology and help businesses make their travel programs more efficient, scalable, and cost-effective.”
