American Express Global Business Travel

The business combines travel management services with proprietary B2B software. It helps companies book and manage employee travel, enforce policy, integrate expense systems and centralise spend visibility. Revenue is generated from both software access and the flow of travel transactions, allowing the company to monetise customer contracts through subscriptions, transaction fees, servicing and supplier-side economics.
