BT4Europe peräänkuuluttaa EU:lta liikematkustuksen toimintaedellytysten parantamista

15.3.2023 by Sari Viljamaa

Eurooppalaisten liikematkayhdistysten BT4Europen (European Network of Business Travel Associations) kannanotto liikematkustuksen edellytysten parantamisesta julkaistiin 14.3.

Position Paper on Boosting the Economic Impact of Business Travel -kannanotossa todetaan liikematkustuksen luovan edellytykset talouskasvulle ja kannustetaan EU:ta ja koko matkailualaa ottamaan opiksi Covid-pandemian aikaisten matkustusrajoitusten, maittain vaihtelevien ohjeiden ja muuttuvien säädösten aiheuttamista pitkäaikaisista negatiivisista vaikutuksista.

BT4Europe kannustaa EU:ta takaamaan eri kuljetusmuodoille yhdenvertaiset toimintaedellytykset hinnoittelun ja liputuksen suhteen – maiden rajat ylittävä liikenne mukaanlukien – luomalla komission multimodaalisen digitaalisen liikkumispalvelun MDMS-aloitteen myötä yhtenäislippujärjestelmä esim. lentojen ja junamatkojen saumattomaksi yhdistämiseksi.

Työelämän muuttuessa vanhentunut lainsäädäntö kaipaa uudistuksia helpottamaan työvoiman liikkumista ja työn tekemistä oman maan rajojen ulkopuolella: lisää digitaalisia palveluja ja vähemmän byrokratiaa.

Kannanotto löytyy here.

FBTA:n puheenjohtaja vaihtuu – uusi puheenjohtaja Mirja Kivimaa

23.1.2023 by Sari Viljamaa

Suomen Liikematkayhdistys ry:n puheenjohtaja vaihtuu, kun vuodesta 2020 puheenjohtajana toiminut Pia Kari siirtyy uusiin tehtäviin TietoEvryn ulkopuolelle. Puheenjohtajan nuija siirtyy 1.2.2023 hallituksen varapuheenjohtajalle Mirja Kivimaalle, Outokumpu Oyj.

Sääntöjemme mukaan ”yhdistyksen asioita hoitaa sen hallitus, johon kuuluu ostajajäsenten keskuudesta valittu puheenjohtaja”. Yritys, johon Pia Kari siirtyy, ei (toistaiseksi) ole FBTA-jäsen ja siksi vaihdos.

FBTA-toimisto ja hallitus kiittävät Piaa erinomaisesta puheenjohtajuudesta ja toivottavat onnea ja menestystä uudessa tehtävässä sekä toivottavat Mirjan lämpimästi tervetulleeksi jatkamaan tuloksekasta työtä yhdistyksen lipunkantajana!

BT4Europe’s Position Paper on Digital Transformation in Business Travel

30.11.2022 by Sari Viljamaa

Let’s unlock efficiency and sustainability gains through the full digital transformation of business says BT4Europe

BT4Europe, the European Network of Business Travel Associations, today launched a Position Paper on Digital Transformation in Business Travel.

BT4Europe, representing European buyers and users of business travel services, is urging EU regulators to promote the full digital transformation of business travel. The business travel industry, with millions of Europeans travelling on business every year, sustains thousands of jobs across Europe and is vital to our economies and our societies. Full digital transformation will unlock efficiency and sustainability gains.

This Position Paper, developed by BT4Europe’s Digital Transformation Working Group, urges EU regulators to ensure the forthcoming EU initiatives on passenger rights and multimodal digital mobility services (MDMS) to promote the full digital transformation of business travel. BT4Europe is also urging the EU to make use of the digital transformation to exempt business travel from the bureaucratic A1 cross-border social security form.

‘BT4Europe is arguing for nothing short of the full digital transformation of business travel to facilitate seamless paper free cross-border business travel. In our Position Paper we set out the key challenges to achieving the sector’s digital transformation, assess how they should be addressed and make recommendations for action. We invite the entire travel sector to support these recommendations and the EU to take action to implement them.’ says Patrick W. Diemer, Chair of BT4Europe.

‘The EU’s forthcoming initiatives on multimodal digital mobility services and passenger rights represent a timely opportunity to make sustainable, connected and automated multimodal mobility a reality. For instance by making it possible for passengers to buy a single ticket for multimodal and cross-border journeys. Smarter mobility will strengthen passenger rights and promote sustainable travel options and doing away with paperwork such as the bureaucratic A1 Social Security Form, will boost our economy’, says Dominic Short, Chair of the BT4Europe’s Digital Transformation Working Group.

Dominic Short concluded, ‘All stakeholders – business, citizens and the European Union must work together to seize the benefits of full digital transformation in the up coming EU proposals, to unlock efficiency and sustainability gains, to benefit business travellers, economy, and the environment.‘
