Business Travel Tips

In time of rising travel costs, guides suggesting companies and travelers on how to realize savings are welcome.

Michael MacNair, CEO of MacNair Travel Management, a privately owned American Express Representative Office, has authored a book titled “Smooth Landings”, a step-by-step guide to achieving lower travel costs, enhanced productivity, dependable support and improved control.

MacNair’s book is mostly targeting small medium businesses.
The author says: “….many businesses have no access to the tools and philosophies that large companies utilize to control this second largest controllable cost for the average U.S. business“.
He explains: “Many organizations are confused about what to do when managing travel, so they allow each traveler to make his or her own choices with little guidance and education, which results in travel anarchy.”

With this book, travel managers will learn how to identify:
-benefits of managed travel and how to define expectations;
-steps to take to manage this cost to ensure the company and its travelers realize savings;
-what to ask for and expect in the marketplace to deliver the greatest results.
The book is available at amazon.com. Price: $19.95 US, $22.95 CA.
