The Institute of Travel Management (ITM) is the recognised body for business travel, representing over 3,500 buyer and supplier members across the UK & Ireland. ITM provides the best possible support, information and opportunities to enable members to achieve best practice in managing travel spend effectively and to maximise the profitability of their organisations. ITM promotes the belief that efficient and effective travel management requires good planning, strong negotiation skills, effective communication and a keen knowledge of current trends and business travel providers such as airlines, sea and ground transportation and hotel accommodation. Acting as a purchasing body, the Institute regularly contributes to consultative groups involving suppliers, other related associations, government and NGOs. Members join the association to increase their knowledge and expand their contacts network, combining these to improve their company's business travel programme and their own career development opportunities at the same time. ITM delivers member benefits through an integrated programme of conferences and events, research and reports, on and off-line communications and vocational qualifications and training.
