Gathering travel data and setting up travel agreements with providers is important but it is merely the first step to realizing actual financial benefits. Corporate travel managers then are responsible for developing corporate policies that optimize the company’s travel dollar. In order for a company to get the most out of their negotiated discounts, policies must be created that compel employees to make their travel arrangements through a corporation’s travel department, using these negotiated rates with preferred suppliers.
And policy adherence is essential. Otherwise, the corporation may be wasting money through more expensive bookings with non-preferred travel suppliers. A managed travel program guides employees to travel the way management recommends. By taking advantage of supplier discounts, a managed travel program pays for itself through cost avoidance and negotiated revenue streams (rebates, incentive payments, etc.). For instance, a company may negotiate a contract with its preferred air carrier that offers discounted fares on key city pairs. In exchange for meeting its contractual obligation, the travel department receives overrides, or incentive payments, from their preferred carrier.
