september edition 2009 - the globe

Welcome

It is with great pride that we welcome our newest accounts to Travelcorp.

On the West Coast we have Monadelphous, ENI, and a division of Macmahon – ARD and CRE.

On the East coast we welcome Pretty Girl Fashion, Volkswagen and Talent Intelligence. We are looking forward to managing your travel and delivering a service level that will surpass your expectations.

In the economic climate we are currently experiencing some believe that it’s cheaper to book via the internet, on the surface it may appear that websites can offer cheaper prices. However, there are many factors to consider when ascertaining the “true” price you pay:

Flexibility – Business travel changes are inevitable, thousands of dollars can be lost on missed or changed flights and hotel bookings. How much flexibility do travel websites offer? Usually none. We ensure that we capture all missed flights and re-use them as appropriate for your staff saving you thousands of dollars.

Productivity – A staff member may spend hours trawling the internet for best rates when not all fares are displayed and there are constant price changes. We can source all airfares via our technology and ensure you will always be offered the true best fare of the day.

Resources –Travelcorp has established hotel programs and other supplier relationships based on volume making us privy to rates that cannot be found on the internet.

Safety and Security –Travel websites rarely offer after booking assistance. We offer 24/7 assistance, so there is always a Travelcorp person looking after you. Duty of care of with staff is prevalent in today’s society – through Travelcorp technology you can locate all staff via our online realtime reporting in an instant and ensure their safety during a crisis. Alternatively, your account manager can provide this for you.

We’re sometimes asked if we can help additional clients. As a growing, independent agency we appreciate your referrals and consider it a compliment when you recommend us to your friends and business contacts. If you feel someone you know could benefit from our services please contact me helen.logas@travelcorp.com.au or 9563 2901
