AIR PROGRAMME

Their experience in negotiating and managing air travel programmes on behalf of their clients results in significant savings on travel expenditure. As a BCD company, the buying power is immense. Their ability to multi check on individual air fares via offices in both the UK and US ensures they can gain significant savings on the vast majority of international air travel.

Through a combination of advanced in-house technology, international offices with the ability to issue in $ or £’s, along with experienced consultants, they are confident that they can always offer the most convenient and cost effective options available, even when arranging complex or multi-sector itineraries.

HOTEL PROGRAMME

Tour Travel’s long standing relationships with all major hotel chains and independent hotel groups, ensures they have maximum influence in this area to greatly benefit their client-base. They employ a Hotel Specialist to liaise with suppliers, and put together detailed presentations for any VIP travel, whether it’s a private holiday or a yearlong, worldwide tour. This enables informed decisions when choosing hotels and there are no hidden surprises. They regularly attend functions, site-inspections and meetings to receive the latest up to date information on hotel properties. Having an outstanding relationship with all suppliers, enables them to negotiate within budget for their clients.

They store the best group rates previously booked at every hotel, so that each booking can be bench-marked to ensure rates remain consistent.
