The Board of Directors for the GBTA (Global Business Travel Association) St. Louis Chapter’s goal is to provide an open forum for the exchange of ideas between the corporate travel workforce, travel industry suppliers, and regulatory agencies, all while having a little fun! They have been diligently planning events behind the scenes for the remainder of 2022 to help rebuild the travel industry in St. Louis.
Recap of the Annual Golf Tournament
The 2022 TopGolf Extravaganza was a huge success! The GBTA St. Louis Chapter had a phenomenal turnout, with over one hundred golfers. This event is always intended for networking and fun.
The silent auction was highly attended, with guests receiving round trip airline tickets, luxury hotel certificates, St. Louis sports memorabilia, local restaurant gift cards, and much more! Donations were given to The Covering House, a charitable organization focused on restoring the lives of sexually trafficked youth in the U.S.

On September 13, GBTA’s membership meeting had a panel of remarkable travel professionals who discussed the future of travel and what to expect for the remainder of 2022 and beyond. Attendees experienced this meeting at the historically glamourous Magnolia Hotel St. Louis.
