This

transformed its travel function from chaotic to organised. Operating
within a diversified environment with factors considered, including
global agreements negotiated in the USA, as well as sensitive
client relations within SA. While others are starting to concentrate
on commissions to fees, this firm is well ahead and close to implementation.
