Business travel as we know, has changed dramatically over the past few months and travellers may feel some apprehension about heading back out on the road. Vicki Parris, FCM Asia's Senior Director of Customer Experience shares her experiences of a recent trip from Singapore to New Zealand.
A lot has happened in a short span of time in 2020 since the COVID-19 global pandemic began. As people were forced to stay in and companies forced to halt operations worldwide, their attitude towards consuming travel also changed. Here is a look at how the buying behaviour of organisations is likely to change.
A quick Q&A with Lucia Scarampi: Last month we discovered an interesting story of CEO and co-founder of the Marta Scarampi fashion label who was travelling back from Italy to New York with a prototype silk travel Jumpsuit that looked to deliver safety, comfort and fashion in the middle of a pandemic.

There is no crystal ball to tell us when exactly travel will return, or what we can definitively expect to change, but we know that heightened hygiene measures stemming from Covid-19 will be a critical part of travel moving forward.
During these challenging times a company’s culture is truly put to the test. Those with a genuinely strong employee culture who ‘walk the talk’ will now see their commitment return dividends.
Leadership can be tricky at the best of times, but the ability to keep a team productive, disciplined and engaged over the next few weeks in lockdown, will prove to be challenging for even the most experienced leaders among us.
