12.15 The Supply Market:
External Perspective - how do the financial markets view travel and tourism
The amount of money spent on corporate and related travel is ultimately driven by the level of business activity and confidence in the market place – both domestically and internationally. Australia & NZ remain attractive markets for international travel and investment as well as driving high domestic and international travel levels. Within Australia the economy is still vulnerable to some post-resources adjustment (although generally has adjusted well), however externally a rise of protectionism could present new challenges. NZ faces 2017 with continued natural disasters impacting their economy and a new PM after the resignation of John Key. John O’Shea from Bell Potter will provide an overview from the market perspective of trends and expectations that may impact on the local buyers’ market for travel.

The session brings together some of the region’s leading suppliers.
Moderator: Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE), President, Kurt Knackstedt
Panellists:
14.45 Understanding the risks of the new accommodation environment
The rise of the private apartment rentals websites means that corporate travellers are now staying in private residences and exposed to a range of risks not evident in the mainstream accommodation market. If your organisation is embracing the new options, this session will highlight some of the duty of care issues you need to consider.
15.30 Leveraging smaller volumes (Buyer case study)
Queensland-based organisations sometimes lack the critical mass of their Southern counterparts, but that doesn’t mean they can’t run efficient travel policies. This case study examines maximising leverage and the benefits of consolidation.
We’ll hear how a Queensland-based organisation has got all its ducks in row for an efficient, effective programme that delivers benefits to all stakeholders.
