- Corporate travel expenses in the US reached $143 billion in 1994, with companies spending an average of $2,484 per employee on travel and entertainment. This represents a 17% increase over 4 years.
- Technologies like centralized reservation systems and travel management software are giving companies unprecedented visibility into spending and better leverage to negotiate discounts with suppliers. This allows savings of 1-2% of the travel budget, translating to millions.
- Paperless technologies are reducing costs further. Software allows hospitals to reduce document processing time by 93% and save half its $200k travel budget. Satellite ticket printers enable agencies to service multiple locations instantly while eliminating delivery fees.
How technology influences airline planningFaical Allou
Airline managers still rely on decades old methodologies, data and tools that will not be relevant in the new world of distribution which raises the question:
Who will win the next round?
Airline analytics for the 21st centuryFaical Allou
executive summary:
1 - There is an increasing gap between where users want to go and where airlines fly (i.e. planning based on flown data is increasingly irrelevant. => Airline should incorporate the "shopping" data in their process)
2 - Users are increasingly choosing to fly from alternate airports (i.e. planning based on departure airport is increasingly misleading. => Airline should take into account travellers' true origin)
3 - Planning done 10 months in advance is too early to capture changes of trends (i.e. in our fast paced world, users' decision last year shouldn't be used to plan this year. => Airlines should take the steps to move the entire ecosystem into shorter and more frequent planning periods)

This document summarizes a research study on customer perceptions of electronic services on tourist agency websites in Albania. It provides background on internet marketing and how it has changed the tourism industry. The study analyzed 60 tourist agency websites in Albania and distributed 190 questionnaires to customers on their perceptions of 14 electronic services. Key findings from the literature review indicated that internet provides opportunities for tourism businesses to promote and distribute services globally but customers may feel less protected when purchasing from foreign agents.
Travel agents are re-inventing themselves and dong value-add to the “new normal”. In fact, the travel agents have not only reinforced but also expanded their spectrum of offerings, having logged into the online networks’ USPs by embracing the system and adding that “extra”.
By analyzing customer, claims, and hazard data using location analytics, an insurance company was able to:
1) Identify areas in the Southeast region where comprehensive claims severities were increasing and profits decreasing, allowing them to better manage risk and pricing.
2) Discover a fraud ring by mapping claims data and finding unusual patterns of customers traveling far for repairs.
3) Optimize sales territories and market coverage by visualizing gaps and high potential areas not previously identified.

This document discusses how airlines are expanding their focus beyond just selling seats on flights to engaging with customers throughout the entire travel experience, which they call the "Travel Ribbon". It includes stages like inspiration, planning, booking, pre-trip, departure and in-flight. Some airlines are offering ancillary services like hotels, activities and transportation to become one-stop shops. Analytics can help airlines personalize offers for customers. The document also summarizes a survey finding that travelers want more assistance from airlines throughout the Travel Ribbon stages before and after flights.

Building a unified digital travel management platform
is a challenging process. It’s a never-ending process,
too. Let’s look at how we built our platform and how
its innovative architecture works to improve travel
management and travelers’ experiences.
The document discusses the hidden costs of business travel programs, including productivity costs and intangible costs. It provides examples of how online booking tools can help reduce productivity costs by saving travel managers and travelers time spent on booking and approvals. Poorly designed online tools can increase productivity costs if they are difficult to use or do not provide the necessary information. Intangible costs include impacts on employee morale from lack of good travel support tools. Providing personalized, easy-to-use online booking tools can increase traveler satisfaction and compliance with company policies. Overall, the hidden costs of business travel programs should be considered in addition to direct travel costs.

Faster Smarter Better - Carlson Wagonlit about Distribution 2015Gabriela Otto
Emerging technologies are impacting managed travel programs in five key areas:
1) Mobile technology like mobile booking apps and wearable devices allow for faster, more seamless travel.
2) Customization using data analytics allows for more personalized travel experiences.
3) The sharing economy through services like Airbnb and Uber provides more accommodation and transportation options.
4) New booking solutions like fare tracking aim to generate further savings.
5) New payment solutions such as virtual credit cards simplify processes and reinforce compliance.
While these changes provide opportunities, they also raise concerns about data privacy, service quality, and policy compliance that travel managers must address.

Corporate T&E costs, now the third-largestcontrollable expense behindsalesanddata-processing

The software tracks spendingtrends by interfacingwiththe corporation's database and providing
access to centralizedreservationsystemsthat provide immediate reservationinformationto airlines,
hotelsand car rental agencies.These programs also allow usersto generate computerizedtravel
reports on cost savings with detailson where discountswere obtained,hotel and car usage and

discountswith travel suppliers.
"Whenyouown the information,you don'thave to go back to square one everytime you decide to
change agencies," saysMary Savovie Stephens,travel manager for biotechgiant Chiron Corp.
Sybase Inc., a client/serversoftware leaderwith an annual T&E budget of more than $15 million,
agrees."Software gives us unprecedentedvisibilityintohowemployeesare spendingtheirtravel
dollars and betterleverage to negotiate with travel service suppliers," saysRobert Lerner, directorof
credit and corporate travel servicesfor Sybase Inc. "We have betteraccess to data, faster,in a real-
time environment,whichis expectedto bringus big savings in T&E. Nowwe have control over our
travel informationand no longer have to dependexclusivelyonthe agenciesand airlines."

No More Tickets
Paperlesstravel is catching on faster than the paperlessoffice everdidas both service providersand
consumerswork togetherto reduce ticket pricesfor businesstravelers.Perhapsthe most cutting-edge
of the advancesis "ticketless" travel,whichalmost all major airlinesare testing.
In the meantime,travel providersand agenciesare experimentingwithnewtechnologiestoenable
travelersto book travel servicesvia the Internet,e-mail and unattendedticketingkiosks.Best
WesternInternational,Hyatt Hotels and several other major hotel chains market on the Internet.
These servicesreduce the needfor paperand offerbetterservice and such peripheral benefitsas
increasedefficiency,improvedtrackingof travel expensesandtrends,and cost reduction.
DennisEgolf, CFOof the VeteransAffairsMedical Centerin Louisville,Ky.,realizedthat the medical
center'sdecentralizedlocation,a quarter-mile fromthe hospital, made efficiencydifficult."We were
losingproduction time and things got lost," he says. "Everymemo had to be hand-carriedfor
approval, and we requiredsevendifferentcopiesofeachtravel order." As a result,Egolf triedan off-
the-shelf,paper-reductionsoftware package designedfor the federal government.
The software allows the hospital to manage travel on-line,fromtracking per-diemallowancesand
calculating expensestogeneratingcash advance forms and authorizing reimbursementvouchers.The
software alsolets the hospital keepa running account of its travel expensesandits remainingtravel
budget.
"Today, for all practical purposes,the systemis paperless," saysEgolf.The software has helpedthe
hospital reduce documentprocessingtime by 93 percent."The original goal focusedon managing
employee travel withoutpaper," he says. "We have achievedthat goal,in part due to the effortsof
the staffand in part due to the accuracy of the software."
4. Withonly a $6,000 investment,the hospital saved$70 each employee tripand saved almost halfof its
$200,000 T&E budget through the paper-reductionprogram.
Out There
Consolidationofcorporate travel arrangements by feweragencieshas beena growing trend since
1982. Nearlythree out of four companiesnow make travel plans for their businesslocationsthrough a
single agencyas opposedto 51 percent in1988. Two major benefitsofagency consolidationare the
facilitationof accounting and T&E budgeting,as well as leverage in negotiatingfuture travel
discounts.
A major technological advance that allowsthis consolidationtrendto flourishisthe introductionof
satellite ticketprinters(STPs). UsingSTPs enablesa travel agency to consolidate all operations to one
home office,and still sendall necessarytickets to various locations instantlyvia various wire services.
As the term implies,the machineryprints out airline ticketson-site immediately,eliminatingdelivery
charges.
For London Fog, STPs are a blessing.LondonFog'sannual T&E budgetof more than $15 millionissplit
equallybetweenitstwo locations inEldersburg, Md.,and NewYork City. Each location purchases the
same numberof tickets,so equal access to ticketingfrom their agencyis a must. Withan STP intheir
two locations, the company servicesboth officeswithone agency in Baltimore.Each office has access
to immediate ticketsand still managesto save by not having to pay courier and expressmail charges
that can range up to $15 for each of the more than 500 tickets each purchases annually.
Conde Nast Publications' annual T&E budgetof more than $20 millionisallocatedamong its locations
in Los Angeles,SanFrancisco, Chicago, NewYork and Detroit.Since 1994, travel arrangements have
beenhandledby a centralizedagency,AdvancedTravel Managementin New York City,by installing
an STP in each ofthese five locations. In additionto increasedefficiencydue to consolidation,Conde
Nast now has the abilityto change travel plans at a moment's notice and have new ticketsin hand
instantly.

The real benefitisthat the machinesare owned and maintainedby the travel agency., so there is no
cost to the company. Due to the major expense involved,however,STPsremainan option only for
major ticket purchasers. "STPsare a viable option inthis process for any location that purchases more
than $500,000 peryear in tickets," says Shoen.
5. As airfare averages43 percentof any company's T&E expenses,savingsobtainable throughthe
various usesof technologyhave become dramatic. For example,the ability of corporations to collect
and analyze theirown travel trends has ledto the creation of net-fare purchasing-negotiatingaprice
betweena corporation and an airline to purchase ticketsthat doesnot include the addedexpensesof
commissions,overrides,transactionfees,agency transaction feesand other discounts.
Althoughmost major U.S.carriers publiclyproclaimthat they don'tnegotiate corporate discounts
belowpublishedmarketfares, the American Expresssurvey on businesstravel management found
that 38 percentof U.S. companieshad access to, or already had implemented,negotiatedairline
discounts.The availabilityand mechanics of these arrangementsvary widelyby carrier.
What'sthe Price?
Fred Swaffer,transportation manager for Hewlett-Packardand a strong advocate ofthe net-pricing
system,has pioneeredthe concept offee-basedpricingwithtravel-managementcompaniesunder
contract with H-P. He statesthat H-P, whichspendsmore than $528 millionperyear on T&E, plans to
have all air travel basedon net-fare pricing."At the presenttime,we have several net fares at various
stages of agreement," he says."These faresare negotiatedwiththe airlinesat the corporate level,
then trickle down to each of our sevengeographical regions."
Frank Kent, Westernregional manager for UnitedAirlines,concurs:"UnitedAirlinesparticipatesin
corporate volume discounting,such as bulk ticket purchases,but not withnet pricing. I have yetto see
one net-fare agreementthat makessense to us. We're notopposedto it,but we just don't
understandit right now."
Kent stresses,"Airlinesshouldapproachcorporations with long-termstrategic relationshipsrather
than just discounts. We wouldlike to see ourselvescommittedto a corporation rather than just
involved."
