Dedicated Business Travel Forums
Thursday 23 September
Distribution Forum
10h30-11h15 IFTM Top Resa talk 7 in partnership with Amadeus/Tour Hebdo
The travel agency business: Facts and fiction
Amadeus and Tour Hebdo have carried out a wide-ranging survey to investigate the motivations of French travel agents – their reasons for choosing to work in the travel trade, their current situation and future expectations. A compilation of responses from actual travel agents, the survey provides an accurate picture of the workings of an extremely interesting yet often little-known profession.
11h30-12h30 IFTM Top Resa talk 8 in partnership with Tour Hebdo
The top French travel agency networks
Tour Hebdo has drawn up a detailed classification of the top 30 French travel agency networks. This overview of the agency network scene provides insights into a number of developments – the profitability of these networks, their geographic spread, the percentage of online sales etc. Competition on the network market is tougher than ever before, at regional as well as national level.
Corporate & Business Travel Forum
14h30-15h30 IFTM Top Resa talk 9 in partnership with Voyages d’Affaires magazine
The business tourism market in a post-crisis economy
Corporate travel spending policies have gone through a sea change over the past two years as a result of the financial crisis. The magazine Voyages d’Affaires is organising a panel discussion involving the major suppliers on the market to focus on the new best practices.
16h30-17h30 Talk in partnership with DéplacementsPros.com/ Mondiale Assistance
The Voyage d’Affaires survey
The third annual survey analyses and measures the expectations of French business travellers as regards their travel habits, choices and safety. There is a new feature this year: the survey will attempt to identify the key economic trends in the sector. A sociologist and some travel managers will discuss the results – which as always are eagerly awaited.
18h00- 19h00 The Lauriers du Voyage d’Affaires awards ceremony in association with Déplacements Pros and Thalys.
The Lauriers du Voyage d’Affaires
The companies with the best business travel programmes will be awarded prizes for their know-how and innovation in five categories: airline companies, hotels, technological innovation, services and sustainable development.
There will be a special prize for the best Travel Manager 2010.
The event will be followed by the ACTE / AFTM reception.
