Corporates Overpay When They Don't Audit Hotel Rates Regularly: Business Travel News

Corporates Overpay When They Don't Audit Hotel Rates Regularly: Business Travel News | Business Travel | Scoop.it
Two recent studies highlight the importance of regular hotel rate audits so corporates can reap the full benefits of their negotiated programs. Still, the industry has a ways to go in terms of embracing regular rate auditing. In an analysis of hotel rate auditing programs used by its clients, BCD Travel found that a company that doesn’t conduct standard rate audits will overspend on its hotel program by $122,500 for every $5 million in spend. Combining standard rate auditing—the industry norm that checks that a rate is loaded properly into the global distribution system—with rate availability audits can prevent $225,000 in overspending for every $5 million in spend.

A traveler whose virtual card process doesn't work at hotel check-in is like that one kid at summer camp who doesn't get a personalized water bottle, related Steven Mandelbaum, who has worked his way up from camp counselor to VP of business solutions for The Advisory Board Co. "You could've had 300 bottles and missed one. Statistically, it's insignificant, but … imagine the impact on that one child.

One Way Midsize Companies Can Maximize the ROI of Their Corporate Travel Programs: Business Travel News

One Way Midsize Companies Can Maximize the ROI of Their Corporate Travel Programs: Business Travel News | Business Travel | Scoop.it
Midsize companies play a crucial role in the strength of a country’s economy and face a different set of challenges from larger companies to grow their businesses, including when it comes to hiring and retaining talent. According to a recent research report from American Express Global Business Travel and The Economist’s Intelligence Unit, titled How Medium-Sized Companies Can Wage the Battle for Talent, many midsize companies struggle to bring in talent to grow their companies because they do not have the resources, brand appeal or benefits to attract candidates. Because their relatively small staff sizes make each hire that much more important, it is imperative that they find new strategies and leverage resources that give a hiring advantage.
