This, coupled with an existing history of pursuing sustainability initiatives in tourism and leisure travel, has provided a rich foundation for the corporate travel course. The instructors likewise bring a history of expertise and passion in the area of corporate travel sustainability. This converges into a course that can dramatically impact the role that corporate travel takes in combatting climate change, inequity, and other sustainability shortfalls in the corporate travel industry.</p> </q></blockquote><div class="author"><span class="testimonial-thumbnail"><img class="testimonial-image" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20150%20150'%3E%3C/svg%3E" width="150" height="150" style="--awb-border-radius:50%;" data-lazy-src="https://www.gstcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/Mike-Hall-150x150.jpg" /><noscript><img class="testimonial-image" src="https://www.gstcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/Mike-Hall-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" style="--awb-border-radius:50%;" /></noscript></span><span class="company-name"><strong>Michael Hall</strong>, <span>Senior Manager, Global Travel, llumina</span></span></div></div><div class="review avatar-image"><blockquote><q class="fusion-clearfix"><p>The course helped me become much better informed, learning about new reporting criteria, what official institutions there are for certification and how companies can best share their activities and reports. Interaction with other participants was useful, the speakers and presentations were very useful with great tips about books and articles. It definitely increased my awareness that sustainability is not just about the environment but also about people and culture. Taking the exam is a good opportunity to practice what you learn with a real case from your own company or clients.</p> </q></blockquote><div class="author"><span class="testimonial-thumbnail"><img class="testimonial-image" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20150%20150'%3E%3C/svg%3E" width="150" height="150" style="--awb-border-radius:50%;" data-lazy-src="https://www.gstcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/Marijke-Poppink-150x150.jpg" /><noscript><img class="testimonial-image" src="https://www.gstcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/Marijke-Poppink-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" style="--awb-border-radius:50%;" /></noscript></span><span class="company-name"><strong>Marijke Poppink</strong>, <span>Owner, Poppink TRVL Projects</span></span></div></div><div class="review avatar-image"><blockquote><q class="fusion-clearfix"><p>This is the definitive go-to guide for sustainable business travel and was incredible opportunity to learn about the future of travel at a global scale.</p> </q></blockquote><div class="author"><span class="testimonial-thumbnail"><img class="testimonial-image" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20150%20150'%3E%3C/svg%3E" width="150" height="150" style="--awb-border-radius:50%;" data-lazy-src="https://www.gstcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/Daniel-Nettuno-150x150.jpg" /><noscript><img class="testimonial-image" src="https://www.gstcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/Daniel-Nettuno-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" style="--awb-border-radius:50%;" /></noscript></span><span class="company-name"><strong>Daniel Nettuno</strong>, <span>Consulting Engagement Manager, American Express Global Business Travel</span></span></div></div><div class="review avatar-image"><blockquote><q class="fusion-clearfix"><p>It was a great course, especially for a tour company like ours that is thinking of expanding to Business Travel.
