Can Outsourcing Travel Bookings Save Money?

Corporate Traveller Can Save You Money and Time

It sounds counterintuitive, right? To pay a company of travel experts to book your business travel trips, instead of it being the duty of a PA or Office Manager.

That’s what one client asked, leading travel management company, Corporate Traveller UK during the early phases of their partnership. So, they worked to put the theory to the test - using some of the client’s pains as a starting point, and auditing where they could 
be more efficient.

It was calculated for this particular client, booking for one year with Corporate Traveller UK will result in:
• £1.8m total annual travel spend
• £300k worth of savings to global business 
• 17% total savings versus the previous year
