    BTN editors tackle some of the key issue facing the corporate travel industry today. Why has M&A activity in the travel industry slowed down? How do travel buyers maintain policy controls amid the direct push to travelers from supplier loyalty programs? Does proposed regulation for the U.S. credit card industry pose a threat to loyalty programs? How quickly will TMCs adopt AI technology? Will online booking tools ever be able to truly satisfy corporate travel needs? How is the corporate travel industry addressing accessibility needs? BTN senior editor Donna Airoldi, contributing editor Amon Cohen, managing editor Chris Davis, BTN Europe editor-in-chief Andy Hoskins and BTN Group editorial director Elizabeth West all join host and BTN executive editor Michael Baker to answer those questions and more.
