Business Traveler Satisfaction Trends:

New joint research between Dinova and GBTA: This study reveals motivations and outcomes for traveler satisfaction programs. An education session to share the research titled "#FOMO: What Companies Who Prioritize Traveler Satisfaction Know... and You Don't" will be conducted on Tuesday, August 6 at 9:45 AM
U.S. businesses spend approximately $100B on dining and $15B on corporate (B2B) catering in restaurants. Companies want visibility of catering as part of total food spend – as dining is the 3^rd largest T&E spend category right behind air & hotel.

Company Record Momentum: Dinova reports record results with double-digit growth in all key performance indicators.

"The Dinova footprint is growing exponentially and we now have 19,000+ participating restaurants in our network.
