In today’s fast-paced world, where every second counts and every meeting matters, business travel isn’t just about getting from A to B. It’s about how you feel along the way.
At Travel Counsellors for Business, we believe that the most effective business travel is personal. It’s tailored around people, not processes. That’s why personalisation isn’t just a trend - it’s a necessity.
Personalised business travel takes the unique needs, preferences, and goals of each traveller and business into account. Rather than offering generic hotel options or standard flight routes, a personalised approach uses data, traveller profiles, and expert knowledge to craft travel experiences that are truly fit for purpose.
Enhanced employee satisfaction and wellbeing
A happy traveller is a productive traveller. Research from the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) shows that 79% of business travellers who feel their preferences are taken into account are more likely to report job satisfaction. Reduced travel fatigue and frustration translate directly into improved focus, better deal-making, and higher morale.
Greater productivity and efficiency
Missed connections, rushed layovers, and inconvenient schedules lead to wasted time and lost productivity. With personalisation, business trips are constructed around what works for each traveller and the wider organisation – allowing for better productivity.
Improved duty of care
Employee wellbeing doesn’t end at comfort. Duty of care obligations mean businesses must always know where their travellers are and be ready to provide support in real-time. Personalised travel management systems track itinerary changes, flag high-risk destinations, and give employees 24/7 access to help.
By creating personalised itineraries, not only do companies reduce risk, but they also inspire confidence in travelling staff. This trust encourages compliance with travel policies and reduces the chance of employees “going rogue” with risky alternatives.
Attract and retain top talent
Today’s employees, particularly Gen Z, expect more from their employers, including how they’re treated on the road. Business travel is an extension of company culture and values. Personalisation sends a clear message that the business values each individual’s time, health, and preferences.
How we put people first- always
When you work with Travel Counsellors for Business, you’ll be supported by a dedicated Travel Counsellor (or team of Travel Counsellors) who will take time to get to know your organisation and your travellers, understanding their preferences and crafting itineraries that perfectly meet their needs.
When things go wrong, we’re here for you. Our 24/7 duty office will be on hand whenever you need them, ready to jump into action to arrange alternative travel arrangements in the event of something unexpected disrupting plans – whether it’s a cancelled flight, extreme weather, or a natural disaster.

Things don’t always go right in the world of travel, which is why you need a TMC who’ll be there around the clock. We take a look at how our Travel Counsellors jumped into action after the fire at Heathrow Airport back in March.

This latest blog post tackles another trend we believe is driving forward the need to redefine care in business travel: changes in travel habits. But are we being too slow to look at the travellers and put them first? We take a deep dive into why it's important to put the individual traveller at the heart of any business travel programme.
