Cost-Effective Business Travel
Recently at a networking event, the age-old question came up: What does it take to have cost-effective business travel and still have quality of service?
The simple answer: Mindfulness.
How can you give a one-word answer to a complex question? However, the truth of the matter stems from the old adage: time equals money. What is the time someone/some company wants to take to plan travel? Do they have well established relationships with travel vendors to provide added value? How about the special nuances and industry-known connections to get the most “bang-for-the-buck”? Airlines corporate programs are available, but require a travel company to actually run the air tickets. Can the person/company do that alone? Are they in the travel business? If your answer is “no” to any of these, you need an expert travel advisor.
WHY?
- They’re engrained in all aspects of the travel business. Their business is DOING/DELIVERING business travel.
- A highly regarded, well-established, time-tested travel management company is JUST that. They are well established, time-tested and know what they’re doing!
- There are variances in putting together corporate travel policies and programs. A solid corporate travel management organization can arrange details and plans from a single airline ticket to major corporate events, meetings and conventions. They can negotiate all components: ground transportation, incentive programs, air contracts, hotel contracts, team building –all aspects of meetings and convention travel.
- Plus travel agency reporting documents activity, in monthly or quarterly reports, assists in aspects of reconciliation for the customer. This is simply arranged between the parties.
Numerous other benefits are available for cost-effective business travel, but these are just a few!
The bottom line is to focus on your business at hand and leave the business travel planning to an expert. In these times of instant communication, focus is more important than ever. World Travel Business Elite will work hard to deliver quality service and cost-effective business travel solutions.
