Abstract

Not every firm or organisation needs to employ a specialist in business travel, but international travelling is fast becoming a specialised occupation where the most advantageous terms can only be obtained by constant study of the changing market. Some firms have their own travel manager or travel department or employ agents to arrange their business journeys, thus relieving executives and their secretaries of the need to work out their individual national and international travel itineraries. A travel manager can effect considerable economies for his firm by applying up-to-date knowledge of the enormous range of air fares, hotel charges and car hire discounts. This could make a significant contribution in time and money to the company’s operational efficiency.
