Hear from Chief Product Officer, Erica Antony as she shares the key product highlights of 2024, along with the key areas driving innovation.

  • 2040: Baseline, Boom or Bust

    As we enter an era of rapid transformation and unprecedented challenges, it is essential for travel managers, meeting & event planners, and corporate decision-makers to look ahead and frame our current strategic thinking with a clear vision of the future. Business travel and meetings and events (M&E) are poised for significant change over the next decade and a half, driven by a complex interplay of sustainability goals, technological advancements, evolving work models, and geopolitical dynamics.

    In this paper to mark the 10th anniversary of our Global Business Travel Forecast, we explore, for the first time, a long-term vision of the future and potential trajectories through three distinct scenarios, each offering insights into how these forces should affect policy-making, budgeting and priorities. By examining these scenarios, we can better understand the diverse possibilities that lie ahead and the strategic imperatives required to thrive in each potential future.

    Based on trajectory data analysis and interviews with industry leaders, behaviorists and climate tech founders, this forward-looking approach enables us to anticipate changes, strengthen our strategies, and make informed decisions that align long-term objectives. It is through this lens of foresight and adaptability that we can build resilience, seize opportunities, and navigate the complexities of the future.

    We invite you to reflect on the insights presented, and consider how your organization can prepare for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Together we can ensure that travel and meetings remain catalysts for growth, scalability and sustainable practices.

  • CWT GBTA Global business travel forecast 2025

    When it comes to pricing, global business travel has finally reached an enduring, higher baseline. Prices will continue to rise in 2025, but only moderately, so expect a period of normalized growth.

    However, this pricing environment, one of marginal gains and price regularity, is fragile. Global leisure travel has now realized a lot of its pent-up demand, while corporate travel has been resurgent, with 2024 edging at preCovid levels.

    There are many factors at play, whether its volatile oil prices, labor costs and constraints, inflationary pressures, and geopolitical factors. As this elevated baseline edges upwards, albeit marginally, travel budgets will come under increased scrutiny, especially as travel patterns and attitudes change.

    It’s why business travel can’t be viewed in a silo, and the true value to an organization must be fully realized. This forecast can help with those calculations.

  • The Way We Work: First-hand accounts from the frontline of emergency travel planning

    When catastrophe unfolds, the world sees the devastation—homes reduced to ruins, families uprooted, and communities in distress. Yet behind the headlines, a meticulous orchestration of efforts ensures that help reaches those in need with sensitivity, speed and precision.

    CWT combines advanced AI-driven insights with seamless technology integration and human expertise to simplify booking, approvals, and policy compliance, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for 4,000+ customers’ travelers.

    But travel isn’t always routine.

    CWT TX Managers: Dione Stamper, Denise Tomlinson, Michael Vigil and the CWT travel counselors are part of a global Traveler Experience team serving travelers in 139 countries with culturally-sensitive, and location-specific support—ensuring travelers receive the assistance they need, wherever they are.

    They also work on the travel operations side of the American Red Cross, responsible for mobilizing rapid response to deploy volunteers and humanitarian aid where it’s needed most.

     All Systems Go: Activation & deployment

    “Red Cross recruits volunteers that go to destinations where disasters hit—boots on the ground, as they call it—to do whatever they can to assist the people affected,” says Stamper whose core team is dedicated just to emergencies, “But because these disasters can be huge, there’s no way just four counselors can handle the volume. That’s where our ‘helpers’ come in. It takes a village”

    The relief process starts when the team receive an activation notice from their Red Cross travel manager. Each scenario is assigned a DR (Disaster Relief) number, which is then used to create a dedicated case in the system. This becomes the central tracking point for all travel logistics. Once that’s set up, volunteers can begin calling in to arrange their travel. The team uses a specialized system to ensure every travel request follows the correct protocol and each volunteer is authorized for travel within budget.

    These are one-way bookings because deployments typically last 21 days but plans often change. Volunteers may need to stay longer or leave sooner, depending on the situation on the ground. Instead of booking round trips upfront, the team wait until they’re ready to return, making sure each itinerary is tailored to the real-time needs of volunteers.

    Beyond Volunteers: Supporting next of kin in the wake of the Maui wildfires

    “One of the most emotional projects we’ve worked on was the Maui fires,” says Stamper, “Red Cross wanted to help families reconnect. It was a heartbreaking situation, but knowing we played a role in helping people during those moments made all the difference.”

    Some disasters require more than deploying emergency workers. When the Maui wildfires devastated the island, leaving thousands unaccounted for, the Red Cross initiated a special program to assist victims’ families. CWT’s Traveler Experience team had to implement an entirely new travel process overnight. Families who had lost loved ones were offered travel assistance to Maui. Similarly, if a loved one was hospitalized due to the disaster, they arranged for family members to visit, covering flights, transportation, lodging, and incidentals.

    “Because of the extreme sensitivity of these cases, we limit handling to only two dedicated counselors who specialize in these cases,” says Stamper, “There were thousands unaccounted for, and Red Cross wanted to ensure that families could get to their loved ones—whether for burials, memorials, or just to see what remained of their homes. We had to set up separate phone lines, emails, processes—all in record time. That program has since become a standard part of large-scale disaster responses, including the California wildfires and Hurricane Helene.”

    “When the Maui fires happened, we had to think outside the box to get people there. Flights were unavailable, so we worked closely with the Red Cross and even leveraged donated airline miles to make sure volunteers and families could reach the island,” adds Vigil, “Moments like that remind me why this work matters.”

    Disaster doesn’t wait for business hours: Training for the unpredictable

    Training for this type of travel is rigorous and constantly evolving. Every CWT helper must complete emergency response training. Even after that, they stay involved on a rotational basis to keep their skills sharp. The work is 24/7. When call volume spikes, a text alert goes out to the team who mobilize reinforcements, taking shifts to ensure coverage.

    “Our training for the American Red Cross team is incredibly comprehensive,” says Tomlinson who has been with the account since the day one, “We revamped it in 2024, and just days after the update, Red Cross changed their policies again. It’s a constant evolution, but we’ve built a program that ensures we’re always ready—whether it’s for a planned response or an unexpected crisis. Every time Red Cross has a new idea or a new way of operating, we come together, brainstorm, and figure out how to make it work. It’s a living, breathing program that requires constant innovation. I’ve watched it grow from a completely foreign process to a well-oiled machine. It’s been incredible to see how we’ve adapted and expanded our capabilities to meet the needs of such an important organization.”

    Dione Stamper, Denise Tomlinson, Michael Vigil and their team may not be on the ground handing out relief supplies, but they get the people there who do. Whether it’s volunteers arriving to rebuild communities or grieving families finding closure after a tragedy,

    “The agents understand and fully appreciate emotionally what they’re doing,” says Stamper, “They’re unsung heroes in many ways. They see this as an opportunity to help others who are helping others, and that’s a rare position to be in.”

  • Crisis-ready: Is there a growing need for emergency travel plans?

    When Storm Ciaran left 1.2 million homes in France without power, it severely damaged the northwest’s electricity infrastructure.

    To restore power as quickly as possible, an energy firm activated its rapid intervention force for electricity, deploying employees and service providers nationwide. But getting technicians on-site required more than just travel arrangements—it demanded a fast, strategic, and highly coordinated crisis response.

    CWT activated its crisis unit, 24/7 traveler assistance and real-time booking support. A dedicated team worked closely with the customer’s emergency response unit to handle urgent accommodation requests, receiving up to hundreds of bookings daily totalling 29,000 room nights. Via longstanding supplier partnerships, the team secured accommodation at remote locations— crucial to keeping technicians on-site and operations running smoothly.

    Complex travel scenarios like this one are not limited to getting specialist crews to emergencies.  Evacuating staff from unsafe environments is an increasingly common occurrence, “We used to deal with one weather crisis a year—now, it’s around five”, says Customer Support Director Stephane Samuel, “This trend forces us to work in a structured way that combines continuous information-sharing, daily reporting and rapid mobilization. No matter how long a crisis lasts, our responsiveness must remain constant. On average, crisis management takes 15 days, but some of the most devastating crises in 2023 and 2024—in French Brittany, Northern France, Guadeloupe, La Réunion, and Mayotte—required more than a month of support.”

    Adapting to volatility

    “You’ll never get two evacuations that are the same,” says Joanne Jackson, Global Operations Director, CWT Energy, Resources and Marine which has successfully managed end-to-end travel missions for companies in the energy, mining, offshore, and maritime sectors for over 40 years. Jackson cites several examples of fraught situations such as the time CWT ERM evacuated a client’s employees from Kazakhstan when the country lost power. Someone managed to get into an office with a backup generator, climb under the desk and message us from there.” Jackson’s team manage evacuations from ocean vessels, during cyclones, and political unrest, “It’s not just about evacuating an employee; sometimes, entire families, including children and pets, need to be moved.”

    Energy, resources and marine aside, emergency travel will increase for commercial organizations over the next decade and beyond. Geopolitical volatility is rising, according to CWT GBTA report, 2040: Baseline, Boom or Bust which cites a 2024 World Economic Forum survey that reveals 63% of leaders predict a turbulent outlook, with less than 10% expecting calm or stability over a 10-year horizon. Coupled with climate change, duty of care will become ever important. 2024 was confirmed as the first year to breach the 1.5-degree warming limit. New Scientist posits that extreme weather is here to stay.

    Why knowing where your people are matters more than ever

    Crisis travel management ensures that when geopolitical or climate disaster strikes, companies can act fast, move personnel efficiently, and maintain business continuity by leveraging real-time tracking, risk assessment tools, and strategic partnerships to ensure seamless evacuations and minimize disruption. As global volatility rises, the ability to track employees and act quickly will be critical – that’s where having an expertly managed travel program and working with a trusted partner pays.

  • The human advantage: Why travelers turn to counselors in times of uncertainty

    The travel management company with the largest global footprint in the industry, CWT handles an average of 78,000 airline bookings, 8,000 vehicle rentals, and 73,000 hotel stays across 29,000 destinations daily. While most travel arrangements are routine, a rise in extreme weather events increases the likelihood of travel disruptions.

    Some travelers—even those not directly impacted by wildfires, hurricanes, or flash floods—report feeling nervous to travel after witnessing high-profile travel disruptions or natural disasters. Events like severe weather incidents, emergency landings, and large-scale evacuations can heighten risk perception, leading to fears of future disruptions, flight cancellations, or being stranded in unsafe conditions. Live social media coverage amplifies these concerns, reinforcing the need for reassurance and real-time support. It’s no wonder that in times of uncertainty, travelers seek human expertise. A recent study by software firm Katana found that 49% of customers prefer interacting with a human over a bot, with 25% indicating their preference depends on the complexity of the issue.  

    Multi-channel support for travelers

    Supporting travelers in times of uncertainty requires a well-optimized travel management system that blends chatbots for speed and routine 24/7 support with human expertise in complex scenarios.  

    CWT’s own myCWT platform is revolutionizing traveler support with cutting-edge Gen AI and natural language processing enabling travelers to engage in unscripted conversations with a virtual assistant, seamlessly transitioning to a human travel counselor when needed. The Gen AI-enhanced service has been rolled out across 56 countries, achieving traveler satisfaction scores exceeding 90%. Looking ahead, CWT plans to integrate live language translations and further personalize the experience by leveraging travelers’ unique preferences and past itineraries. With AI-driven innovation at its core, CWT continues to set new standards in intelligent, customer-centric travel support.  

    Even as GenAI’s capabilities continue to rapidly advance,  the real-time empathy and adaptability of CWT’s travel counselors in challenging situations cannot be replicated. Whether it’s a reassuring phone call for urgent challenges or messaging the 24/7 team for around-the-clock support with changes, information and policy questions, increased uncertainty requires a blend of technology and human support.

    Travel expertise in sensitive situations

    CWT’s Traveler Experience counselors handle the nuances of business travel during unexpected scenarios. Equipped with comprehensive training and global expertise, they provide tailored solutions to meet travelers’  needs—whether that means rebooking a missed connection, navigating complex visa requirements, or ensuring compliance with corporate travel policies.

    When the unexpected happens—a natural disaster, political unrest, oil rig evacuations and even hostage reunions—counselors help travelers find safety and solutions, no matter where they are in the world.

    Take, for example, the traveler stranded abroad during a sudden airline strike. While an app might notify them of the disruption, counselors work behind the scenes to secure an alternative route, accommodation during the delay, and reassurance throughout the ordeal, transforming a potentially overwhelming situation into one that feels manageable.

    Emergencies demand quick thinking, detailed coordination, and unwavering focus. Whether it’s evacuating travelers from a region experiencing civil unrest or assisting those impacted by a sudden weather event, trained counselors ensure the safety and well-being of every traveler.

    CWT’s Energy, Resources & Marine specialist teams manage evacuation incidents for clients like offshore oil rigs during hurricane season and gas plants during political unrest. While the travel requirements for these clients are complex at the best of times, high-stakes situations demand rapid decisions, logistical expertise, and deep industry knowledge. When travel takes an unexpected turn, human connection is what truly makes the difference.
