The internet versus your Personal Travel Manager
Your employees are often spending an unnecessary amount of time making travel bookings. This is not productive and costs both time and money. The key to reducing costs and improving time efficiencies is the ability to take advantage of one order, one delivery and one payment for all your travel services. The table to the left demonstrates the advantage of time using a travel manager based on a standard domestic air booking with two nights’ accommodation and two days’ car rental. Every business is focused on value – now more than ever before. And the highest level of value in travel doesn’t come purely from buying the alleged cheapest tickets online. Companies that opt for web bookings as a sole solution can forego value adding benefits that can be driven only by holistic travel management.
