Planning business trips is no mean feat, with many spinning plates to juggle at any given time. Such is the complex nature of business travel, a recent study by SAP Concur revealed that 37% of travel managers are experiencing stress in their roles – so much so that they believe it’s making it harder for them to succeed in delivering high-quality travel programmes.
Worst still, 99% of the 600 people surveyed agreed that their job will become even more challenging over the next 12 months. A lack of support, budget restrictions, and insufficient tools to do the job were cited as reasons why they expect their roles to get tougher, and their wellbeing to plummet further.
The need for a strategic solution to alleviate stress and enhance efficiency has never been greater – and that’s where Travel Counsellors for Business would be delighted to step in.
We understand the unique challenges faced by travel managers. We aim to take the stress out of business travel by managing every detail, from planning to execution. Here’s how we can help.
Personalised service with a dedicated contact
When you work with Travel Counsellors for Business, you get a dedicated Travel Counsellor who handles all your needs. Unlike call centres, our approach ensures you have a reliable point of contact who knows your preferences and requirements. This personalised touch makes all the difference in managing complex travel plans seamlessly.
End-to-end travel management
From initial planning through to support while travelling, we handle it all. Our services include booking flights, accommodation and car hire, sourcing venues, and putting together complex itineraries. We can even support your business on the ground if needed. This comprehensive approach ensures no detail is overlooked, reducing the stress on travel managers.
A care-led approach to business travel
We tailor every business trip – not just to the unique needs of your business, but the individual needs of your travellers. Whether it’s considering the changing expectations of the Gen-Z workforce, supporting travellers with complex health needs, getting you to an urgent meeting on time, or simply ensuring someone can get home in time to see their children before bedtime, our care-led, life-centric approach to business travel supports the wellbeing of you and your travellers.
Real-time support
One of the standout features of working with Travel Counsellors for Business is our real-time support. If plans change or issues arise, your dedicated Travel Counsellor is just a call away to assist you. This level of support is crucial in managing unexpected disruptions and ensuring smooth travel experiences for your team. Our 24/7 Duty Office is also available for additional support if needed. You can rest assured that we’ll never leave any traveller stranded or left to sort out alternative plans themselves.
High-tech meets high-touch
We offer a suite of digital products to support your business, without losing the personal touch we pride ourselves on. Our online booking tool, myTC Online, allows you to book simple trips yourself – freeing up time for your Travel Counsellor to focus on your more complex requests. You can also access data that will help to drive efficiencies in your business using myTC Insights, and your Travel Counsellor will work with you to implement changes that will drive down costs while enhancing care within your travel programme.
Plus, our handy myTC app gives your travellers access to their itinerary and travel documents in the palm of their hand, while providing real-time updates about flight delays, cancellations, or anything that could hinder their trip.
Supporting responsible travel initiatives
Your Travel Counsellor is here to help you navigate the high-profile issue of sustainability in business travel so you can balance people, purpose, and profit alongside the planet. From helping you choose hotels which have been recognised for their responsible travel initiatives, to supporting you with carbon reporting, reducing your emissions, and carbon offsetting, we’re here to help you meet your ESG targets.
