Identifying and negotiating preferred supplier agreements form an integral part of travel management. Upon agreement with the client, American Express Global Business Travel will balance corporate agreement rates and lowest logical fare offers ensuring that the client receives the best of both: either a greater saving on the day or the corporate agreement deal.

Save with the preferred international hotel programme

This programme is unique in the market place.

Managing traveler behavior is fundamental to effectively managing a company’s travel policy. To do this, accurate data and analysis are required to track travel trends in order to institute incentives and/or penalties. Our robust database allows us to benchmark each client’s performance against that of their peer group. Although the individual company details are kept in the strictest confidence, the peer group benchmark allows us to compare company A’s savings with that of Company B, and to identify the reasons for it i.e. low cost carrier usage or a strict travel policy on advance purchases. We can then offer informed recommendations.
