Travel pricing isn’t standing still. Your strategy can’t either. Airfares, hotel rates and broader market forces continue to shift, putting pressure on travel budgets and forcing programs to adapt faster.
At Business Travel Show Europe 2026 in London, Advito’s Olivier Benoit will join industry peers at Forecasting Forum session to explore what’s driving travel costs—and the implications for buyers. The 60-minute panel discussion is scheduled for June 25, beginning at 9:40 a.m. local time.

- Which levers can help control spend: A look at the policy adjustments, negotiation approaches and program strategies that can help mitigate rising costs.
- How to respond with confidence, not guesswork: Practical ways to move from reacting to pricing volatility to making more informed, forward-looking decisions.
