Business travel made seamless: 3 must-haves of an ideal corporate travel partner
MANILA, Philippines — When planning business travel, the last thing you want is a travel agency that you have to micromanage the tiniest detail, all the big things and all the nitty-gritty travel requirements. You might as well plan the travel yourself.
We’ve listed down three things to look for when deciding which agency to partner with.
1. Full-service
Businesses should look for a travel partner that is flexible and can give them everything they need.
All agencies can offer airline reservations and ticketing, so find the one that also offers crucial services like visa assistance, hotel booking, land travel arrangements, group tour, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) arrangements and travel insurance.
It is also important to deal through reliable agency that is available to provide 365/24/7 assistance and offer dedicated customer service as you navigate different time zones.
2. Credibility
How do we actually know which one to trust? Trust an agency that is trusted by companies you believe in.
Most trustworthy travel agencies would have recognition from booking systems like Travelport and the airlines like KLM, American Airlines, Asiana Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, China Airlines, Delta, Emirates, Philippine Airlines, Turkish Airlines, among others.
Make sure they have been cited as a top producer or given a top travel agency award. The more known businesses in their client list, the more credible an agency gets.
3. Long-term partnership
Because corporate travel needs aren’t simply one-time deals, you want a partner you can trust in the long term.
Moving from agency to agency is stressful and tedious. You don't have the time or the bandwidth to go through the whole process each time and deal with getting accreditation from yet another agency. It is crucial to find an agency that can be with you for the long haul.
