The Business Travel End to End Process
Why take this course?
🚀 Course Title: The Business Travel End to End Process
🌍 Course Headline: Either as a customer, a practitioner, or an interested entrant, this course is your ultimate guide to mastering the ins and outs of business travel processes!
Introduction: Throughout my extensive career in the travel management industry, I've witnessed a common issue: a lack of comprehensive understanding of the full spectrum of business travel processes. This isn't surprising, as in smaller agencies, employees often wear multiple hats and may not delve into all aspects of the workflow. But in larger Travel Management Companies, this gap in knowledge can lead to significant inefficiencies and financial losses. 🧐

The Cost of Overlooking Best Practices: There's a tangible financial impact when best practices aren't followed. This course aims to bridge that knowledge gap and provide a clear, step-by-step guide to the entire process, highlighting regional differences and real-life examples from my 30 years in the industry. 💼🌍
