London. The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) and Institute of Travel & Meetings (ITM) – the UK’s buyer-led business travel and meetings association, have today announced the creation of an event to address the specific issues affecting the business travel community from the charity and humanitarian sector. The two associations are creating a symposium for humanitarian travel buyers and suppliers in addressing issues such as airline fare management, alternative accommodation inventory and risk/duty of care for humanitarian work at an event on 28th and 29th June 2012. The ITM & GBTA Humanitarian Symposium will take place at the recently re-furbished St. Ermin’s Hotel in London’s St. James’ area, with the hotel having taken the initiative to support the event in the interests of improving charities’ business travel management costs.
