Business News: As FCM’s inaugural Th!nk event concluded this week, industry leaders emerged in bullish mood, optimistic about the future of corporate travel. At a time when TMCs such as FCM are returning to profit and closing in on pre-covid trading levels, collective attention has turned to maintaining this positive trajectory while responding to an ever-evolving travel landscape to deliver strong client support and satisfaction. Speaking live to the audience from Athens, FCM Global Managing Director Marcus Eklund reiterated the need to encourage open conversation and positive action across the wider travel business was long overdue.
“Having navigated through the upheaval of last two years, our industry faces renewed disruption in the years ahead. Th!nk was conceived to bring difficult, but essential conversations to the fore. Together with some of the brightest brains and industry heavyweights, we have provided a new global platform to shine a light on the big topics shaping the future of business travel, while sharing FCM’s own deep insights and solutions,” said Eklund.
FCM Managing Director Middle East and Africa, Ciarán Kelly commented, “Meeting suppliers, fellow colleagues, existing and new customers in Athens has been priceless. Coupled with the excellent content from Th!nk and the buzz of seeing familiar faces again re-enforces the power of being in the same room rather than on a conference call – is much more fun and productive!”
