Travel managers may be familiar with the benefits of virtual cards: They provide a payment solution for those who don't have corporate cards, and they reduce fraud, time filing expenses and time reconciling transactions, and that all adds up to cost savings. Hotel solutions company HRS has claimed clients that implemented virtual cards also reduced hotel costs by an average of 12 percent. Booking and traveler behavior also changed when companies implemented virtual cards.

Green Travel, which began and became popular in the early 1980’s, is known by a variety of names. Some of the more popular examples include green travel, sustainable travel, nature travel, responsible travel, ethical travel, mindful travel, and more. While ecotourism is probably the most common name used today, the multitude of ways to refer to green travel has led to some confusion. Despite this, more and more people want to be immersed and surrounded by local cultures and nature, leading to growth and interest in this type of travel. In fact, this interest has led to green travel increasingly gaining in popularity and showing a tremendous pace of growth.
This is a guest post written in partnership with Balboa Travel, Inc., a Green Business Bureau Member.

Hyatt Hotels Corp. finished 2017 above the expectations, according to president & CEO Mark Hoplamazian. Full-year systemwide revenue per available room grew 3.3 percent year over year. Going into the fourth quarter, Hyatt had delivered guidance expecting growth between 2.5 percent and 3 percent. Fourth-quarter systemwide RevPAR increased 3.8 percent year over year. Both gains came more from rate increases than from occupancy. "Our strong finish in Q4 gives us confidence as we look forward to a solid year in 2018," Hoplamazian said.

A traveler whose virtual card process doesn't work at hotel check-in is like that one kid at summer camp who doesn't get a personalized water bottle, related Steven Mandelbaum, who has worked his way up from camp counselor to VP of business solutions for The Advisory Board Co. "You could've had 300 bottles and missed one. Statistically, it's insignificant, but … imagine the impact on that one child. When you're talking about a trip … there's a very big impact on that particular traveler. So for us, it's very important to make sure we avoid that."
