Business Travel Booking

Unlike a leisure travel booking, a business travel booking tends to be made with far less notice prior to travel date. Where as leisure bookings are made often many months in advance a business travel booking usually has no more that a week or two’s notice prior to travel.

Who makes a business travel booking?
A business travel booking is normally made in one of two ways. The traveller themselves often actions a request but in larger organisations the companies travel is arranged by a team of ‘bookers’. In some ways it is easier to make a business travel booking directly with the traveller on a ‘one to one’ basis but of the bookers know what they are doing a far greater volume of transactions can be processed.

Reporting on a business travel booking
One of the benefits of using a TMC is that every business travel booking made will be reported on allowing you to understand fully your total travel activity. These reports identify the nature of the business travel booking made and whether it be a flight, hotel or car hire etc.
