As a result of this direct engagement, we gained a deeper understanding of the needs of business travellers.”

He added, “The feedback we received from these corporate professionals goes into ensuring we provide the right solutions for them. Returning as a sponsor enables us to meet with new corporate professionals and build on the working relationships we had forged with this sector in 2013.”
