A Guide To The Annual Business Travel Exhibition

One of the most important events held in the British travel industry every year is the Business Travel Show. This is an excellent business opportunity for those involved in company travel and for those who arrange business trips and meetings, whether personally or through an agent.

The Business Travel Show is held at Earls Court in London. Visitors will be able to explore the business travel offerings from some of the best vendors in the industry. This exhibition is the main event of the Business Travel Week, and is an exciting initiative in the European business travel arena.

There are various interesting segments at the Business Travel Show, each with its own conference. The Meetings Showcase offers visitors a mine of information about conference venues and vendors, the latest technology available and many cost-effective suggestions. The Online Showcase is a must-see for those who go online to book tickets for business travel. More than 150 providers will give you an insight into cutting costs, streamlining procedures, and simplifying your online reservation process. The Technology Showcase displays products and services for automated reservation and payment, while the CSR Showcase offers an insight into corporate obligations and carbon reduction strategies. Visitors can get a lot of interesting travel tips and information at the Travel Advice Clinic and meet 14 of the most innovative European providers of business travel services.

For exhibitors, the Business Travel Show offers an excellent opportunity for travel vendors to discover the new developments in the field. This year, there is a spotlight on education and networking in the travel field. The fact that there is a large visitor promotion budget for the 2009 show, 50% more than last year's, has given the organisers a chance to ensure that the profile of visitors to the show will be the perfect target audience for business travel vendors.

At the event, visitors will find out how to save up to 20% of travel business costs, how to monitor travel reservations in an organisation, how to get cost-effective routes, how to standardise business travel, how to implement mandatory procedures and communicate organisational policy as far as business travel is concerned, and how to simplify planning.
Registration for this exhibition is free and includes entry to the Travel Technology Show which will be held next to the 2009 Business Travel Show. Tickets can be booked in advance from the official website.
