New global business travel alliance formed
The creation of a new international business travel alliance was announced at the recent National Business Travel Association (NBTA) annual event in Salt Lake City.
The Paragon Agreement links the NBTA in the US with the UK and Ireland’s Institute of Travel Management (ITM), the Canadian Business Travel Association (CBTA), Verband Deutsches Reismanagement (VDR) in Germany and the Australasian Business Travel Association.
“NBTA is proud to be a founding member of the Paragon Agreement,” said Kevin Iwamoto, NBTA President. “Business travel is crucial to our world economy. And in the years to come, we hope this alliance will be a powerful voice for the international business travel community.
“In this time of international uncertainty, it’s important to come together for a common cause. Forming this new alliance makes a powerful statement: we are going to do everything we can to ensure that business travel remains a critical aspect of our global economy.”
