BCD Pricing, Plans & Alternatives (2026)

Overview

BCD, the business travel management company also known as BCD Travel, is based in Utrecht in the Netherlands. In February 2026 it launched a new brand identity emphasising an open approach to technology combined with human guidance.^[4] It reported sales of US$24.4bn in 2025, has more than 15,000 employees and serves clients in more than 170 countries.^[4]

BCD’s offering covers business travel management, meetings and events and travel consulting. Its positioning centres on an “open ecosystem”: rather than requiring clients to use a single proprietary booking tool, it works with a range of technology partners while supplying the account management, data and servicing layer.^[4] Recent partnerships announced by the company include a long-term strategic partnership with Delta Air Lines and a collaboration with Riskline on travel risk information.^[4] Smaller TMCs also operate as BCD affiliates; Christopherson Business Travel, for example, describes itself as an affiliate of BCD Travel providing a global network in more than 100 countries.^[14]

BCD is the main independent alternative to Amex GBT for large global programmes. Its limitations are that, as a private company, it publishes only headline figures, and that pricing is negotiated through procurement rather than published.
