Business travel has changed, the pandemic has seen to that. How you buy your travel, has that changed? does it need to?

The search criteria and subsequent filters will compare all flight options,From different carriers and also nearby airports. Furthermore it will mix and match airlines , airports, classes of travel, baggage all in one booking flow. This enables the travel booker to search for "best price" options and help keep travel cost down.

Here at Uniglobe Gemini Travel our business travelers often ask " Can I mange my business travel plans from my mobile or tablet device?". The answer is yes you can.

In years gone by, the value of a travel management company would have been a hotly contested topic. But the focus would have been on the commercials or fees behind any given agreement, that we know for sure. But has this changed in recent months and does the recent pandemic have anything to do with this shift?

2018 was a pretty remarkable year for Uniglobe Gemini and the miraculous 12 months were topped off when we were awarded the title of Business Travel Agent of 2018. This was a commendation to reward the whole Gemini team for their devotion to providing each of our clients with exemplary customer service and the evening was a fantastic experience for all involved.

Not least our very own Lisa Budd won the Operations Manager of the Year award for her tremendous organisation, professionalism and leadership abilities which she has continuously demonstrated throughout her time within the Gemini team.

We would of course like to thank the governing body, Uniglobe, who so honourably presented us with the award, but most of all we would like to express our fondest gratitude to our clients, whose feedback we are sure in no small part contributed to us receiving the two titles of recognition.

To reflect that sentiment we’d like to direct your attention to a recent survey that we asked our customer base to fill out. We sent them a series of questions, in order to gain an insight into how we could potentially improve our travel management team’s services, and this was their reply:

Corporate travel can be a costly affair, especially for businesses who may not know where to begin when dealing with an ever-tightening budget. Whether arrangements are being made for a group of employees travelling to the same location, or for individual employees travelling around the world throughout the business year, ensuring that the right processes are in place can help businesses to cut costs and promote smarter travel. With a corporate travel management service, the stress of organising any number of business trips can be reduced considerably. Here, we’re exploring just how corporate travel costs for your business can be cut in the most efficient manner.

When it comes to corporate travel, organising and booking your trip can be tough. The costs of travel alone can be a stress on your business, but there is help available. Travel management programs are the industry’s answer to corporate travel, helping you to plan, book and partake in your business trips, but how can a travel management program actually help you?
