Right now, could be another period when a swing is underway, as the hotel market softens and AI tools come into play. - [TMCs: Expect the World](https://www.businesstravelexecutive.com/special-report/tmcs-expect-the-world/): It’s the $64 million question – is there such a thing as a truly global TMC? First off, what do we mean by global? If the definition is one vendor for multiple countries delivering the same in each of those countries, then the clear answer is No. - [Big Data & Analytics in the AI Playbook](https://www.businesstravelexecutive.com/special-report/big-data-analytics-in-the-ai-playbook/): You can't have artificial intelligence without data. Lots of it. But as we grapple with how to take best advantage of the promise AI holds for managing business travel, we have to ask what kinds of data should be captured and utilized?That's a question that may bring some new answers in a post-pandemic world. When travel went pear-shaped in 2020, so did most of the historic data around it, and now that we’re on the rebound, new data points may require different tools and a different data strategy. - [The Disruptive World of NDC](https://www.businesstravelexecutive.com/special-report/the-disruptive-world-of-ndc/): For travelers and travel managers, air travel disruptions are hard enough to handle one at a time, but when the disruptions extend beyond the flight to the entire distribution network – how tickets are shopped, booked and managed – the impact can be much more far-reaching. The ways in which airline bundles, pricing combinations and inventories are presented to travelers and travel buyers makes this as complex a topic as it gets. New Distribution Capabilities, or NDC, in particular has generated its own set of controversies. - [Private Flying](https://www.businesstravelexecutive.com/special-report/private-flying/): Today, with commercial airlines’ capacity limited and fares rising, private aviation for corporate travel continues to offer programs a premium value in security, convenience and comfort. Plus, often, the greatest luxury is the luxury of time, and managing it better can be the biggest savings of all. Therefore, the return on investment of flying private can be calculated by analyzing the costs and benefits associated with private aviation compared with the expenses and outcomes of commercial air travel. ## Testimonials - [Joan Bloggs](https://www.businesstravelexecutive.com/testimonial/joan-bloggs/): Lorem ipsum dolor amet mustache organic raclette palo santo keytar banh mi schlitz enamel pin lo-fi ramps.
