Will the UK’s changing ETA rules affect business travelers?
In a word: yes. As part of its broader immigration strategy, the United Kingdom has expanded its Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system, a move aimed at improving security while streamlining entry processes for international visitors.

What to look for in a Travel Management Company?
Finding the right Travel Management Company (TMC) to partner with your organization requires strategic planning, a methodical process and involvement from the right travel stakeholders.
Travel buyers are responsible for how an organization uses travel and meetings to help achieve their broader goals. Partnering with the right TMC leads to improved safety, productivity and wellbeing for business travelers and streamlined processes and cost savings for your organization.
The TMC should demonstrate broad experience in managing travel for organizations like yours. Identify the specific services you need from them, such as ability to connect travel program strategy to company mission and purpose, sector experience, hotel program expertise, sustainability, travel policy compliance, risk management, or a defined approach to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I).
