History

BABTA was founded as a chapter of the Global Business Travel Association (formerly called the National Business Travel Association) in 1975 by a group of local travel professionals. The objective of BABTA is to develop a network where travel professionals can receive support and education to enhance their career responsibilities through active involvement. BABTA is committed to addressing issues that arise in the travel industry and affect corporate travel.

Membership consists of travel managers, as well as suppliers and vendors from airline, car rental, hospitality and other travel-related industries. The goals and directions of the organization are determined by the membership.
