The Future of Corporate Travel: Fresh Perspectives for 2025

• At one time, “going green” was an option. Now? It’s a must.

• More Gilpin clients ask about eco-friendly hotels and flights that offer carbon offsets, or they want to know if their favourite cab operator is running electric vehicles.

• Our travel managers regularly help design trips that balance business goals with responsible travel, and we’re seeing large enterprises and growing start-ups both make sustainability part of their standard travel policy.

Tech-Enabled, Human-Led:

• The days of shuffling through email confirmations or standing in long queues to adjust a ride are over.

• Gilpin’s online platform lets travellers book, track, and update trips from their mobiles—no calls, no confusion.

• But while AI tools and predictive booking save time and money, it’s still our human touch that keeps things personal.

• When a client gets stuck in an unfamiliar city, it’s the 24/7 Gilpin helpline (not a chatbot) that brings them home, fast.

Every Trip, Tailored:

• Not all business travellers are alike. A frequent flier to Bengaluru wants speed and comfort, but a first-time delegate heading to Singapore might crave reassurance.

• Gilpin’s dashboards learn traveler preferences—favorite hotels, room types, and even cuisine—so our team can fine-tune every trip.

• The result: happier travellers, better compliance, and fewer headaches for HR.

The Rise of ‘Bleisure’ in India:

• It’s official—more Indian professionals are adding a day or two of sightseeing, family time, or self-care onto the end of business trips.

• Gilpin handles these “bleisure” add-ons for clients, helping people discover hidden food markets, weekend getaways, or must-see monuments nearby.

• Companies notice that mixing work and leisure makes for happier, loyal employees—and we see a steady uptick in such requests.

Safety and Well-Being Take Center Stage:

• Traveling for work should be inspiring, not draining.

• Gilpin’s duty-of-care tools allow managers to track traveller safety in real time, offering instant help in emergencies.

• We supply wellness tips, hotel gyms, and downtime ideas too.

• Whether it’s arranging safe women-friendly cabs or organizing rapid medical assistance abroad, keeping business travellers happy and healthy is our top job.
