?? ?? With at least 1,300 flights impacted due to the Heathrow closure (the world's second busiest airport) which is expected to reopen at midnight, the ripple effect and subsequent operational challenges are going to be felt globally. As a #travelmanager or #travelmanagementcompany, do you have the #technology in place to manage disruptions such as this? Although incidents as big as this might be few and far between (remember the Icelandic Ash cloud 15 years ago?), how do you plan for it and put the right safeguards in place? If you want to know how to mitigate this type of risk and protect your travel programme, TripStax is here to advise, so ping David Chappell and have a chat :-)

Back in 2017, the very wise Richard Branson posted his 'Tips for happiness', an open letter for Mind where he describes how 'happiness' is the key to success. To celebrate ?? International Day of Happiness ??, we are resharing this in the hope that it will inspire you. So, take some time out of your day today, have a read and reflect... ?? "Dear stranger, You don’t know me but I hear you are going through a tough time, and I would like to help you. I want to be open and honest with you, and let you know that happiness isn’t something just afforded to a special few. It can be yours, if you take the time to let it grow... " READ THE LETTER IN FULL: ?? https://lnkd.in/dNcQd6ks To celebrate today, we've asked our teams to take some proper time out and leave work early. Taking a walk in nature is always a good place to start... ?? ?? ?? We must all remind ourselves to look after our emotional wellbeing and do more of the things that make us happy as individuals. TripStax wishes you all a delightful ?? International Day of Happiness ??!!

Grab a ? and have a read of the latest The Business Travel Magazine - out now!!! Don't miss The Diary of a CTO by our wonderful Scott Wylie - who claims not to be ?? "Lowestoft’s answer to Nostradamus" ?? Here's another clue what this month's column is about... ????????.. ?? I remember back in 2004 and the release of the Will Smith sci-fi blockbuster,?iRobot?– set in 2035, just a decade from now – seemed a little far-fetched for the times, but not inconceivable... ...The scenario: artificial intelligence is starting to control us rather than the other way round. The so-called “godfather of AI”, Nobel Prize winner Geoff Hinton has estimated a 10-20% chance of AI causing human extinction in the next 30 years. This, of course, is extreme..." #traveltech #traveltechnology #travelmanagement #tmc #travelmanager #businesstravel #corporatetravel #ai

?? ? ?? Will AI be the death of us all? TripStax CTO Scott Wylie dispels any fears of a future overrun by robots – like in the movies – but says there is a need for more AI regulation. ?? “I may not be Lowestoft’s answer to Nostradamus, but no, we’re not all doomed,” says Scott. “Quite the opposite in fact. AI will make things better, in my opinion." ?? ?? ??

?????? A very relevant read for today ?????? Indulge in the latest 'Diary of a CTO' column by TripStax CEO Scott Wylie for The Business Travel Magazine?????? Roses are red, violets are blue, when will we love booking tools too? ".. I will be showering my beloved with her favourite flowers before escorting her to dinner. If you think all this romance doesn’t sound like me, you’d be right. I am a romantic in my own way but that’s year-round – I don’t like doing it to order on one particular, some might say ‘commercially motivated’ date in the calendar.?Nevertheless, love will definitely be in the air in Lowestoft on the 14th. Being an old-fashioned type of guy, I met my partner down the pub, the traditional way, face-to-face, where I could turn on the Wylie cheeky chappy charm and not get swiped left. You know I’m a huge tech geek, but the thought of using mobile apps to find love sends shivers down my spine..." #valentinesday #valentines #love #roses #travel #traveltech #tmc #travelmanager #traveltechnology #traveltech #businesstravel #corporatetravel
