The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) believes business travel is a fundamental force for good and brings the industry together to connect, innovate and set new standards. With members from across the globe, GBTA engages the many voices of business travel to build a collective future, providing a platform for buyers and suppliers to come together, connect with peers, grow their network and shape the future of the industry.
As the hub for community, learning and advocacy, GBTA provides members with tools to advance their careers and expand their knowledge, creating a space for all to share their perspectives, evolve best practices and debate issues that matter.

Community building is an essential component of GBTA’s mission. GBTA seeks to strengthen the bonds that empower the business travel industry, providing opportunities for connecting at a business and personal level. GBTA brings buyers and suppliers together to both deepen existing relationships and form new ones. Members can connect with colleagues, grow their network and give back to the industry — sharing their insights with peers or as mentors to future travel leaders.
From the essentials of travel management to research and member polls on hot topics to peer learning and insights, GBTA provides the forum for members to learn about what is important to them. GBTA also has the privilege and duty to represent the many varied views of the global business travel community. GBTA provides the space for learning and debate on global trends, but also their impact and how that might vary by region. And representing the collective voices, GBTA advocates for the common interests of the industry with regional policymakers.
