For over a decade, we have been providing business trips for SMEs in various industries to the full satisfaction of our clients. Our Business Travel Consultants are in daily contact with Travel Managers and business travelers. Additionally, we also interact with employees from companies who still manage their own business travel bookings and are interested in doing so through a specialized and recognized business travel agency. To set this up effectively, we take a closer look at the current situation and, with that knowledge, we have compiled a top 3 list of mistakes that companies make when booking business trips for their employees.
3 mistakes companies make when booking business trips.
Mistake #1: Spending too much time searching for and booking flights and hotels.
As a business travel agent, we know how enjoyable it can be to plan a great itinerary for yourself or your colleagues. However, sometimes the destination is challenging to reach, requiring layovers. It can also be difficult to find a good hotel nearby, and if that’s not possible, it may necessitate an expensive taxi ride or car rental.

Mistake #2: Lack of control over travel expenses.
If your colleagues book their own business trips, how can you be sure that their expenses align with the agreements made within the organization? Booking an overly expensive ticket can occur because they might not have had the opportunity to view all available flights or failed to notice that there are flights to the same destination from, for example, Rotterdam or with a layover. In short, it can be challenging to put together an appropriate travel itinerary at times. Download the full whitepaper for free to read the entire explanation.
Mistake #3: Booking through standard online websites.
Many companies are unaware that corporate travel agents have highly advanced online booking tools. These systems go far beyond consumer-oriented tools like Cheaptickets or Vliegwinkel.nl. Take a look at the service fees and administrative costs per booking on those websites. They are often twice as high as with a corporate travel agent’s tool, and you receive limited or no service. In short, why would you book through that channel as a company? Download the full whitepaper for free to read the entire explanation.
