As businesses plan for 2023, there are several key considerations to keep in mind. First and foremost, it is crucial to bolster the role of the travel buyer, ensuring they are at the center of the risk management system. Trip scrutiny is at an all-time high, as companies evaluate the return on investment of each trip contrasted with whether it can be accomplished virtually. Additionally, inflation will have a major impact on travel budgets and require buyers to act as internal consultants in order to maximize trips and improve the bottom line. In this way, managed travel programs will make the most of their travel resources and creating a successful outlook for 2023.
