Companies will book business travel online – wherever the best deal is

According to travel industry news provider, e-tid.com, a leading think tank of travel industry executives who are members of the World Travel Market Club have agreed that there is a trend towards unmanaged business travel, and that that is set to increase over the next 5 years

Corporate negotiated rates were often more expensive than spot rates available online.

Unmanaged business travel means booking travel without being restricted to a particular “deal” or “preferred supplier” and accepting the best deal available on the spot whether that is from an agent or an online website.

We at Booking Business Travel encourage this policy.
