Travel Leaders introduce platform to curb business travel costs

Friday, August 10, 2018

Travel Leaders Group is ready to launch a brand new digital content platform aimed at helping companies contain their business travel costs.

This is because for most companies, travel is the second- or third-largest controllable expense, Travel Leaders said that the new site will offer insights for business travelers and corporate travel professionals on how companies can balance cost control with successful business outcomes and traveller satisfaction.

Aimed at business travellers, in-house travel managers, meeting planners, administrative professionals and HR staff, the new website will include travel advice and tips, education, and effective strategies on how to lower costs, improve employee productivity and satisfaction, ensure traveller safety and security, design a travel policy, and ultimately drive a company’s revenue growth.

Content will be authored by Travel Leaders Group’s business travel, data and technology experts.

Gabe Rizzi, president of Travel Leaders Corporate mentioned in a written statement that one of the main reasons a company may not focus on managed travel is the lack of visibility into the true costs of business travel, along with misconceptions around pricing, personalization and accessibility.

He asserted that business travel is a $1.3 trillion industry that will continue to grow, and business travelers will continue to face personal challenges and higher costs as a result of increases in airfare, hotels, travel cancellation fees, transportation, and even a cup of coffee.

The platform will also be personalized, with content targeted to individuals based on their interests.
