Business travel agents have vowed to continue to defend the interests of the business travel industry in a ‘period of change within with the EU’.
Michael McCormick, executive director and COO of the Global Business Travel Association, said it would work with its partners across Europe and in the UK to continue educating its members on the impact for business travellers and the business travel sector, and will work together to promote and defend the interests of the business travel industry.
"While it is impossible to immediately assess the implications of the result on the UK, European and global economy and on international relations and world order at this point, GBTA remains committed to the same principles it always holds strong: ensuring business travellers maintain freedom of movement, business is not disrupted, travel infrastructure remains strong and programs and bilateral agreements that facilitate safe and secure travel like the EU-US visa waiver exemption continue," he said.
"As the UK and EU move forward with the next steps, GBTA will advocate for these principles."
