Why Use a Business Travel Agency?
Tasks and responsibilities can be overwhelming when managing travel on your own. If you're responsible for booking trips for multiple people, it can become very time consuming just trying to keep track of everything.
A business travel agency will take care of all the details, so you don't have to worry about them falling through the cracks — such as flight times and confirmations, hotel reservations and upgrades, rental car reservations and payments, etcetera. That’s one of many reasons that companies choose to work with a TMC and benefit from the services a third-party management brings.
Greater efficiency:
A business travel agency can help your business and its travelers do everything faster and more efficiently. With a team of travel experts behind you, you and your employees can focus on doing your work and let the business travel agency do the rest.
The human touch:
Regardless of whether you are the one who travels or books business travel for others, understands that technology alone is not the whole solution. Especially as we embark on business travel post-Covid, it is the expertise, care and commitment of travel experts who will help you to return to travel safely and with confidence.
Although a lot happens online these days, there are many people who work hard for you behind the scenes to ensure that your travels are as smooth as possible.
Lower costs:
TMCs often have access to discounts that aren’t available to just anyone. They can also help organizations negotiate favorable contracts with vendors.
At FCM we always find new savings opportunities for our customers, both by using our exclusive partnerships with various suppliers and our global network within the Flight Center Travel Group. This gives us access to the cheapest prices that are not available on other platforms, for example on the Internet or through other travel agencies.
Managed risk:
Travel safety and risk has taken on a whole new meaning. You need to ensure that you or your travelers are taken care of while away from home, now more than ever. And let’s face it. Sometimes things just don’t go to plan. Unexpected disruptions, last minute changes, flight cancellations can all be stressful situations for travelers
With a team of experts your travelers can be confident that when something comes up out of hours, an expert is just a phone call away to help manage and solve any challenge.
Technology implementation:
The right technologies can help you maximize your investment in business travel. A good business travel agency can help you identify and implement the right technologies for your organization.
And after all It's all about making travel easier for you and your colleagues! From profile management, to live travel updates, access to everything you need is one central platform. And making a booking is so simple. It's easy to stay on top of things and reduce the amount of time you spend on admin tasks. Discover flexible payment solutions, reporting to give you visibility on spend and savings and traveler safety features like tracking and alerts.
