Embracing adaptation and change
C
ost occupies a significant place in your day-to-day role as travel buyers, managers, procurement officers and
treasurers. In your endeavours to opti- mise your travel programme, consider the end-to-end cost of business travel. According to a recent survey, eight out of ten business travellers are requesting to add leisure time to their business travel. This is smart because companies can not only take advantage of leisure
fares rather than business fares but also help improve employee satisfaction. The needs of companies are evolv-
ing, and the industry is demanding for issuers and networks to innovate and offer a range of payment solutions in order to meet these evolving needs. The most successful companies
are the ones that adapt and change their operations and policies to meet the dynamic requirements of the business and their employees.
