For PAs and EAs, managing business travel is about far more than bookings. It’s about keeping people moving, protecting productivity, and ensuring your executives are supported when plans inevitably change.
But when disruption hits, many travel programmes reveal their weaknesses.
At Travel Counsellors for Business, we believe resilience isn’t just about technology alone. It’s about combining smart tools with real human support, so you’re never left handling issues alone.
How resilient is your current travel setup?
If you’re relying on a mix of booking platforms, direct supplier bookings, and last-minute fixes, you may already be feeling the pressure. Limited visibility and reactive problem-solving can quickly become time-consuming challenges.
That’s why we have created a simple Travel Resilience Check — designed to quickly show how your approach performs under pressure.
In just a couple of minutes, you can:
- Get a personalised resilience score
- Identify potential risks to your travellers and your organisation
- Understand where gaps may be creating extra work for you
It’s a quick way to sense-check whether your current setup is truly supporting you — or making your role more complicated.
Travel Counsellors for Business will be at the Business Travel Show at ExCeL London on 24th and 25th June, where you can explore the benefits of a more resilient travel programme. If you’re attending, book a meeting with one of our BDMs by emailing businesstravel@travelcounsellors.com.
Why travel should be properly managed
Unmanaged or partially managed travel is one of the biggest hidden challenges for PAs and EAs. When bookings sit outside of a clear policy, it becomes much harder to:
- Track travellers
- Quickly manage disruption
- Maintain consistency
- Control costs
And often, the burden of fixing those issues falls on you.
That’s why we’ve created a practical guide to help you move from stress to structure. It’s designed specifically for busy professionals who need solutions that work in practice.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- The hidden risks and costs of unmanaged travel
- How to introduce structure without slowing teams down
- Practical steps to improve compliance and visibility
- How the right partner can reduce your admin load

SMEs are investing more in travel

- 67% express confidence in overseas business travel
- 62% expect to spend more on trips abroad in the next year

For PAs and EAs, this means the volume of travel isn’t slowing down — but expectations around how it’s managed are rising.
Having the right support in place is becoming a key part of delivering value in your role. This is where Travel Counsellors for Business comes in.
