INNTEL - Resuming Business Travel & Meetings Safely

Today, as we look to understand how we can safely resume our face to face connections, we are aware we will have to travel and meet differently than we did before, at least for now. Meetings, travel and accommodation providers have been working tirelessly to ensure delegate and traveller safety is their highest priority as they re-open their services. We have produced a guide for air, rail, hotel, road transport and meeting services; detailing how to prepare and what to expect when using these travel and accommodation/meetings providers. Below we share key recommendations to ensure travel resumes safely and your delegates and travellers feel confident to step back into the world they knew so well pre-COVID: Follow your company travel policy • Ensure your meetings and travel are necessary and approval is given, if this is required • Book your travel and meetings through the designated provider to make sure you can be tracked in an emergency Plan ahead • Book your meetings and travel well in advance as demand and social distancing rules are limiting availability of modes of transport, accommodation and meeting room space The majority of companies had no choice but to press pause on their meetings and business travel activity as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold of the world.
