✨ General Introduction

In today’s global business environment, travel and event management have become essential responsibilities for executive secretaries and office managers. Organizing travel is no longer just about booking tickets or arranging accommodations—it is about ensuring executives’ comfort, efficiency, and readiness for critical engagements.

This workshop is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to manage travel and events strategically.
