4 reasons why it is expensive to organize business trips
First, you must understand and identify some of the reasons why corporate travel is so expensive. Is the whole process managed efficiently?
1. Time spent organizing
Is there somebody in the company who plans and organizes these trips?We already know that the answer is “yes”. Do you have any idea about the working time that is spent on this task and the associated cost at the end of the month? You should not just look at the pure and hard expenses of these trips. You are also paying for the hours that this human resource spends whenever corporate travel is required.
2. High prices
If the internal resource that handles the planning of these business trips does not have any specialization in the area, it is highly likely that they will not always find the most competitive rates.. And if you multiply this amount by the nights and the number of travellers, the expense to the company will be even greater.
3. Wrong priorities
Most of the time, the person planning the trip focuses on details of the trip where significant savings are more difficult. For example, on the shuttle from the airport to the hotel. It is really necessary to understand the real savings opportunities and to channel efforts into these areas.
4. Lack of experience and know-how
This is one of the main reasons why corporate travel is so expensive! To be able to organize a trip efficiently and optimally, a lot of experience, know-how and even some specialization in this area are required. It is not enough to go online, compare a few prices and make the respective purchases. Good contacts and partnerships are needed to really get the best rates.
These are just four of the main reasons, but there are many more. After reflecting on these reasons, it is important to define new actions for more efficiency in spending.
