The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) now operates a Global Equity Program (GEP), providing business travel agents in emerging markets with access to  a one-year sponsored GBTA membership including member-only industry education, networking and development opportunities. 


To qualify for the program, an applicant must reside in a country identified by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as low to upper-middle income, hold a paid position in the business travel sector and work for an organisation that otherwise would not subsidise their annual GBTA membership. 

GBTA’s GEP online application process is now open. Marriott International has signed on as the GEP’s Founding Sponsor and will fund GBTA’s annual membership for the program’s first 20 accepted applicants.
