Humanitarian & Sustainable Travel
Humanitarian Travel Strategy
Globespan Travel Management’s professionals are experienced with humanitarian and NGO travel, able to secure discounts on preferential humanitarian rates, non-profit fares, flexible cancellations, and accommodations with major carriers. Our travel experts work with your organization based on needs — whether developing an all-encompassing strategy, updating an existing project, or working on a new proposal — your agent will navigate the logistics of humanitarian travel, determining the best budget-saving strategy, while ensuring safe and convenient travel.
Preferred Rates
Our Humanitarian Travel department delivers discounted rates on airfare, transportation, meals, and hotels, to clients via access to exclusive contracts combined with consolidated buying power. Globespan Travel Management’s exclusive humanitarian contracts, as well as other preferential travel and airfare programs with International carriers allow our clients to benefit from deeply discounted rates that they could not secure themselves. Client’s travel counselors always compare multiple humanitarian travel sources to ensure the lowest fares possible. Humanitarian airfares are available to most global destinations, including Africa, Europe, Asia and Central and South America.
Global Partner Network
As TL Network’s exclusive corporate travel management partner in Canada, Globespan Travel Management has gained access to preferred pricing on state of the art travel technology tools, second to none global preferred hotel programs, international best practices, complimenting air agreements, and a global network of agency partners.
What differentiates TL Network from our competitors is that each agency has been hand-picked rather than joining a consortium used by other travel management companies. This network includes locations in key driver and growth markets, uses a single set of TL Network-defined operating standards, and includes just one agency per country.
Travel Technology Tools
All Globespan Travel Management humanitarian clients have access to our travel portal and innovative travel technology tools, including the CONNECT mobile app, GuardianCare, customized travel portal, and more.
Efficient Emergency Support
Our client-centered immediate response system is a key component of our end-to-end travel services, available 24/7/365.
Environmental and Sustainable Travel
Globespan Travel Management understands the importance of proactively tackling environmental impact and promoting sustainable travel. Many of our clients’ large-scale operations exert a large carbon footprint via corporate, project and crew travel. Every travel manager undergoes sustainability training in order to exert a positive difference and improve operations while helping clients make more eco-conscious decisions.
To date, we’ve promoted responsible environmental stewardship through recycling programs, technology-safe repurposing and community clean up participation, to name a few. We’re able to track our environmental impact and offset efforts.
Our group supports a wide variety of sustainability and socially responsible measures and initiatives including:
Carbon Emissions Tracking: We measure, monitor and reduce travel-related carbon emissions
BTI essentials support our client’s sustainability efforts in providing detailed Co2 reporting. Our agents have immediate access to Co2 measurements at the time of booking and are able to include in any trip quotation.
Responsible Meetings and Events: Our strategic meetings management team consults with clients to identify ways to incorporate eco-conscious decisions.
Reducing indirect emissions by choosing accommodations in energy-efficient hotels.
Consulting on additional ways to reduce waste to provide access for participants to meeting materials.
Partnering with venue food and beverage services to design menus using locally sourced and organic products.
