Open Industry Forum
LET’S DEBATE!
The Pro’s & Con’s of a completely re-vamped Travel Industry


This corporate travel industry forum is open to all corporate travel professionals.


Date: 5 August 2021
Time: 10.00 – 12.00
Venue: Online


Join us for this very interesting ABTA corporate travel forum which will be run in a debate format. Teams will debate the pro’s and con’s of totally revamping and re-imagining the corporate travel industry.

– Are travellers becoming more self sufficient with regards to arranging their travel, and if so, what role does the Travel Manager and TMC then play? What are travellers saying?
– Could Tech solutions soon reduce the need for many ‘human roles’ within the Travel Ecosystem? What then?
– What elements of Corporate travel can stay, and which need to go for good?
– Debating the ‘Google Travel Model’ – will this work in the African landscape?

Debate teams include:

Andy Hedley, Managing Director – Amadeus Southern Africa
Beatrix Koen, Global T&E Co-ordinator – Anglo American
Chris Schuitmaker, EMEIA Emerging Markets Travel, Meetings & Events Program & Engagement Manager – EY
Louis van Zyl, Founder & CEO – Trans-End Technologies
Veronique Donoghue, Scientific Affairs Manager & Group Product Manager, Marketing – Fresenius Kabi SA

Amal Sookdeo, Customer Service Support Manager – Toyota Tsusho Africa
Johanna Mukoki, Group CEO – Travel with Flair
Kim Parker, Head of Sales – TAG
Otto de Vries, CEO – ASATA
Phale Naake, Director: Strategic Procurement, Government Travel Services – National Treasury of South Africa

These and many other interesting concepts will be debated, giving delegates some insight into what may be in store for our industry in the next 12 to 24 months.
