Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: During a rail or airplane trip on an early midweek s morning men in suits working on their laptops or reading the latest newspaper are a common scene. This might lead to the assumption that business travellers are important customers to the tourism and travel industry and companies spend large sums on the trips of their employees. Indeed this impression can be proven right. Such 30-40% of all travel in Germany is business driven. In average companies spent 3,9% up to 5% of their yearly indirect cost on business travel.

On the other hand there are many white papers, studies and articles available which are up to date, give practical tips, however only refer to one aspect of the travel process. This implies that inexperienced [...]

Download or read book Business Travel written by Stewart Koci and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate travel management (CTM) is the function of managing a company's strategic approach to travel (travel policy), the negotiations with all vendors, day-to-day operation of the corporate travel program, traveler safety and security, credit-card management, and travel and expenses ('T&E') data management. CTM should not be confused with the work of a traditional travel agency. While agencies provide day-to-day travel services to corporate clients, they are the implementing arm of what the corporation has negotiated and put forth in the policy. The agency on the other hand makes the actual reservation within the parameters given by the corporation. This book is the first step to close a gap that has been left open for too long. Not on purpose, but few people outside the industry realize its economic importance - and size. And while it may not give you all the answers, it does provide you with an overview of the complexities of corporate travel and its management.
