Travel Technology - Negotiating the Minefield
Tom Stone, Director of Travel Management - Universal Music UK
Self service reservations or on-line booking systems are the way of the future. The problem is that not everyone is ready for them now.
How should a travel purchaser determine whether their organisation is ready? How do they decide which system to use? And what is the strategic return on investment?
This presentation empathises with the dilemma many travel managers face in considering the application of technology to their travel programs and looks at a case study to assist in selecting the best route forwards. It also considers how travel agents can turn on-line booking access to their advantage.
