The world of work is changing. People are taking control. New technology is fuelling a boom in entrepreneurialism, and everyone is looking to travel smarter and more efficiently.

In particular, the number of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is growing, and when these businesses need to travel frequently, many are signing up for Cathay Pacific’s Business Plus rewards programme.

Calvin Chao, director of Luxe Real Estate, is a prime example. “We are a regional real estate company with a presence in Singapore, Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and Thailand, and travelling is a big part of our business,” he says.

“Cathay Pacific’s user-friendly Business Plus portal saves us time when we need to book a flight urgently. We also get rewarded for using something that’s easy to use, and it enables us to generate reports of our team’s past travels.”
