How can I make my travel budget go further?
For most non-profit and NGOs, transparency and value for money are crucial.
Intensified economic pressure has increased accountability and organizations are finding themselves facing even greater scrutiny on expenditure. Working collaboratively with our clients, we help deliver cost savings in a number of ways. Directly, we have access to the widest range of preferential rates such as exclusive missionary fares. In addition, we work with partners worldwide to access fares which may otherwise only be available for sale in restricted countries. But for many organisations this is the tip of the iceberg. We also work with our clients to reduce the indirect, or hidden costs of travel. Whether this is streamlining the booking process, expense claims or cumbersome invoicing and reconciliation routines, improving these processes can deliver vast savings.
What we do
At implementation stage, our account manager will work in partnership with clients to analyze and interrogate their travel spend data, travel policies and processes. This provides a full understanding of the current situation and enables us to identify opportunities where we can help them achieve cost savings. The specific cost savings are then committed to a business plan and reviewed during regular meetings with their Diversity Travel account manager.
