Business Travel Tips

According to a survey sponsored by travel specialist Amadeus and the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE), very few businesses have incorporated new mobile services into their corporate travel programmes.

The study, which polled 100 corporate travel managers and technology experts worldwide on their views of how mobile IT is impacting the sector, shows 80 per cent of businesses are aware of the benefits of the use of mobile IT, from increases in productivity of travelers, to improvements in safety and tracking of staff.

However, despite the businesses believe mobile technology will increase productivity and support corporate policy compliance, they have made little progress in implementing changes to their infrastructure.

According to the report, one of the chief benefits of mobile technology felt by the respondents was tracking and communication of travelers for security purposes. (source)
