13 May 2025 | Travel News

Tour managers and music industry travel professionals are discovering how the Business Travel Show 2025 can help streamline complex itineraries, manage crew logistics, and simplify group bookings. Here’s what tour managers can find at the Business Travel Show 2025 and how it can make your life easier.

A New Era of Music Industry Travel at the Business Travel Show 2025

The Business Travel Show Europe has long been a gathering of the corporate travel world. But in recent years, something exciting has started happening: more and more professionals from the music industry are getting in on the action.

Why? Because tour managers, artist managers, and production coordinators are facing the same challenges as traditional business travellers, but with added complexity (we’re looking at you, backline and rider requests).

Whether you’re a tour manager who needs to juggle multiple time zones, last-minute routing changes, or a producer coordinating travel for a whole crew, BTS 2025 has a lot to offer.

So, what’s the deal? Why should you, someone managing travel for an entire tour or a band, show up at the Business Travel Show Europe 2025? Let’s dive in.

What Tour Managers Can Expect to Find at BTS 2025

1. Travel Solutions Tailored to the Creative Industry

BTS isn’t just for the usual corporate execs. More and more providers are seeing the need for travel solutions that understand the fast-paced, ever-shifting world of touring. Expect to find:

Custom travel management tools designed for multi-leg, multi-location itineraries
Group booking systems that make managing a band’s or crew’s travel easier
Flexible cancellation policies and the ability to make changes without a headache

Touring isn’t a 9-to-5 job, and your travel needs don’t fit into a standard business box. At BTS 2025, you’ll find providers who get that.

2. New Tech to Simplify Group Travel

Anyone who’s ever tried to manage a group booking for a tour knows the struggle. Getting 12 musicians, a crew, and a few managers to 3 different cities in 5 days is a logistical feat — and not one you want to handle with spreadsheets.

At BTS 2025, you’ll be introduced to the latest tech tools that help with:

Seamless group bookings
Real-time updates for travel changes
Easy-to-navigate platforms for managing all the moving parts of a tour schedule

Technology is catching up to the complexity of music industry travel. Now, it’s just about finding the right partners who understand that.

3. Networking with Industry Peers

Tour managers, production coordinators, and travel buyers, these are the people you want to connect with. BTS Europe is becoming an essential networking hub where music professionals can meet others in the same boat.

Share best practices for managing travel logistics
Talk about common challenges from custom riders to managing last-minute cancellations
Find partners who understand the chaos of life on the road (without charging you like you’re flying a CEO)

There’s nothing quite like talking shop with people who get the grind of the road. You’ll likely find your next go-to partner at this event.
