Episode 8: Business travel and the end of the office
Show Notes

This week's podcast is hosted by BTN Europe acting digital editor Mark Frary, with Daniel Tallos, travel manager EMEA at Nike, Karen Hutchings, global head of travel, meetings and events for EY, Dave Bishop, CCO at Gray Dawes Group, and Paul Tilstone, managing partner at Festive Road.  

This week we are look at what the end of the office – if that is what we are now moving towards – means for business travel. 

Much of the world has not been in the office for months and surveys show there is little appetite to go back any time soon, at least here in the UK. Many companies have also taken the opportunity to use the break point in their leases to say goodbye to a permanent base in favour of operating virtually.

The trend blurs the distinction between home and work lives and will undoubtedly have consequences for business travel. Is the sector ready to adapt to a situation where the world is your office?
