Travel buyers, TMCs, consultants and suppliers gathered for the first Dinner Club of 2024 at The Dorchester on June 10.

A dozen of the guests were first timers at the invitation-only dinner, which has become one of the key events in the business travel social calendar.

Sponsored by United Airlines, South Western Railway, Blacklane and 3Sixty, the evening began with a champagne reception with time for networking before guests sat down for a three-course meal.

Linda Bekoe, CEO of APLBC, a hotel representation company creating global awareness for independent hotels, gave an inspirational after-dinner speech on the importance of inclusion and culture in business travel. Bekoe is also Chair of the GBTA’s Inclusion and Culture Committee.
