The Flight Centre Business Travel (FCBT) Corporate Travel Grant is set to transform the business of a small-to-medium enterprise (SME) with more than $40,000 in total travel prizes up for grabs.
The FCBT Corporate Travel Grant, now in its third year, is designed to help Australian SMEs grow their business through increased travel and in-person contact with clients and partners.
FCBT Global Leader Cameron Harris said travellers are taking advantage of opportunities to grow their businesses and meet in person.
“With many businesses now preparing travel budgets for the next financial year as travel increases, many are finding it hugely beneficial to partner with Flight Centre Business Travel to ensure they extract maximum value out of their corporate travel spend,” Mr Harris said.
“Accordingly, we are awarding one business a Corporate Travel Grant, valued at over $30,000, to help support their growth and success, while four runners-up will share in $10,000 worth of travel credit.”
How to enter
Enter before 31 March 2023 to be in the running for the Corporate Travel Grant prize of $30,000 or a share in $10,000 of Virgin Australia travel credit and two Velocity Gold memberships each.
To apply, SMEs must submit a one- to two-minute video about what travel means to their business and how winning the $30,000 Corporate Travel Grant will help them.
FCBT will select the top five entries and fly two representatives from each finalist business to its Global Head Office in Brisbane to present their pitch in more detail to the selection panel.
Virgin Australia National Account Manager Tonia Wilson said: “As a judge on the Corporate Travel Grant panel representing Virgin Australia, I’m looking for a pitch that captures my attention from the get-go.”
“I am interested in how other businesses have achieved success through being customer- and people-focused, innovating to deliver value and customer success. I want to get to know the people behind the product.
“My advice is to bring your passion and personality to your pitch. Tell us why your business is unique, be confident and most of all, have fun!”
