Advocacy

Business Travel PAC

Business Travel PAC is the bipartisan GBTA USA political action committee or PAC.  As the only federally recognized PAC representing the business travel industry, it gives the industry another voice in the political process.
Through Business Travel PAC, GBTA members education and financially support members of Congress who understand the value of business travel and support pro business travel interests.
When government policies can make such a big difference in your lives - and the success of your employer and the business travel industry - participation in the political process is essential.
Please join GBTA in furthering the legislative goals of the business travel industry by contributing to Business Travel PAC. Your generous contributions will go directly to pro-business travel candidates for federal office. NextGen air traffic control modernization, expanding TSA Precheck and CBP's Global Entry and lower taxes and fees are among the policies GBTA's government relations team is championing for you on Capitol Hill.

GBTA Government Relations: The Voice of the Business Travel Industry

About GBTA Government Relations

GBTA advocates across the globe for policies that better the business travel industry. Promoting passenger facilitation, a healthy infrastructure and a tax and fee system that benefits rather than burdens the traveler are key items for the travel buyers and the travelers they manage.

Developing and advocating for a changing industry is at the forefront of GBTA’s actions. Items such as the Rules of the Road and passage of infrastructure and passenger facilitation is the reason why GBTA is the voice of the global business travel industry.
