Introduction
On the 13th May 2021 we ran a digital event called Return To Travel. Below are the
materials from the event including links to the video content more information on our
new partnerships with CIBT Visa, Maiden Voyage and Trees4Travel.
Travel has changed for UK businesses. COVID, working from home, Brexit and travel
restrictions make for a minefield of challenges for Travel Managers. We seek to demystify
some of these changes, with these practical workshops on core changes for businesses
looking to return to travel.
The four topics include: Diversity, Digital Passports, Sustainability and Changes to VISAs.
We would love to help your business return to travel, so please reach out to me
personally: julianm@meonvalleytravel.co.uk
