Corporate travel by industry
Every industry travels differently. A pharmaceutical field force, a textile fair delegation, a software team visiting a client and an energy crew rotating to a field site need different rules, approvals and support. These guides explain how we plan for each.

Open guideThe parts of a travel programme that vary
The basics are the same everywhere: a clear policy, quick approvals, good fares and hotels, support when plans change, and one invoice. What varies is where the risk sits. For a pharmaceutical company it is compliance around healthcare-professional events. For a textile exporter it is visa timing before a fair. For a software firm it is sending people on visit visas to do work that needs a work permit. For an energy company it is the safety of people travelling to remote sites.
Our industry guides start from those risks. They describe the trips that are typical for the sector, what the programme needs to control, and how Go Global runs it day to day.

Industry questions
Do you only work with these industries?
No. These guides cover industries whose travel has particular needs. We manage corporate travel for companies in many other sectors.
Can you follow our compliance or security rules?
Yes. We build your policy, approval rules and any compliance or security requirements into how trips are approved and booked, and keep a record of every trip.
Can travel costs be reported by project or client?
Yes. Bookings can carry cost-centre, project or client codes, and reporting is grouped by them.
What every industry programme includes
Whatever the sector, a Go Global programme starts with traveller profiles, a written policy and an approval flow. Bookings follow the policy; changes and disruptions are handled by our team; and finance receives one consolidated invoice with each trip coded to the right cost centre.
From January 2027, GTOS, our travel operating system, brings requests, approvals, bookings and reports into one place for travellers, managers and finance teams.
Other industries with specific travel needs
Beyond the four guides above, many sectors have travel patterns of their own. Banks and financial institutions combine frequent short trips to the Gulf and London with strict approval chains. Construction and engineering firms send project teams to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf for long stays. FMCG and food companies travel to sourcing fairs and regional distributors. NGOs and development organisations move staff and consultants to field locations with security protocols, and government and public-sector bodies need procurement-compliant booking and full audit trails.
Education groups travel to student fairs and partner universities; automotive companies visit principals in Japan, Korea and China; healthcare providers attend congresses and training. Tell us how your teams travel and we will show you how the programme would work.
Each guide is reviewed against the trips we plan, and new sectors are added as we publish them.
