The Institute of
Travel Management (ITM) has extended its offer of complimentary ‘Business’
level membership until the end of September to new or existing members who are
currently on furlough or displaced. Business membership gives unlimited access
to all ITM resources, educational opportunities and virtual events including attendance
at the 2021 annual ITM Conference ‘Revive’.
The association has also
introduced a new six-month Business
membership plan for suppliers and buyers who are unable to commit to a full
year’s membership.
To help jobseekers
and start-ups seeking employees, the organisation has removed fees related to the
ITM Job Board.
Scott Davies, ITM’s
CEO - who speaks to BTN Europe in this week's podcast - said: “Whilst the roadmap out of lockdown and the Covid vaccination
programme has given our industry a light at the end of the tunnel, the recovery
is still going to take several months. It’s unlikely that there will be
significant resumption of business travel until the second half of 2021. We are
therefore continuing to embrace ITM Community initiatives that support buyers
and suppliers in the meantime.”
