The International Summit Travel & Event Management 2024, held from November 4 to 6 in the historic city of Seville, established itself as a key meeting point for the Business Travel and Event Management industry. Organized by AEGVE, the Spanish Association of Corporate Travel Managers, and with the collaboration of Apartool, the event brought together over 250 national and international professionals to analyze the sector's present and future, share experiences, and foster collaboration among companies.
An Event Highlighted by Innovation and Collaboration During the summit, the first Business Travel Monitor was unveiled—a report conducted by BRAINTRUST with input from over 200 Spanish companies, offering a comprehensive overview of the business travel market in Spain. This report not only serves as a reference tool but also underscores the importance of innovation and data in making strategic decisions in an ever-evolving sector.
Represented by several members of its sales team, Apartool seized the opportunity to strengthen ties with corporate travel managers, share its value proposition, and participate in the networking spaces organized throughout the event.
Networking and Shared Knowledge The summit not only featured panels and sessions led by top-tier speakers but also created an ideal environment for exchanging ideas and collaborating with other industry players. For Apartool, these moments of interaction were essential to better understanding the challenges and expectations of its clients in the coming years, as well as reaffirming its position as a strategic partner in managing temporary accommodations.
Looking Toward the Future of Business Travel The publication of the Business Travel Monitor confirmed an encouraging trend: the sector expects a 2.4% growth in 2024 and a 3.6% increase in business travel budgets for 2025. These figures highlight the importance of continued investment in solutions that enhance the corporate traveler’s experience—something Apartool considers fundamental to fostering more competitive and globalized businesses.
In summary, the International Summit Travel & Event Management 2024 not only provided valuable insights but also reaffirmed Apartool’s commitment to being a strategic ally for companies seeking efficient, sustainable, and tailored temporary accommodation solutions. Seville was the perfect setting to reflect on the future of the sector, and Apartool remains dedicated to innovation and teamwork as drivers of its growth.
