Best practices in corporate travel management and procurement practices include: a disciplined approach to measuring qualitative and quantitative external and internal performance; benchmarking to market conditions as well as year-over-year performance; managing demand; and making strategic use of suppliers. Companies applying these principals will be able to better influence traveler behavior and effectively use measurement to gauge impact and stress demand management as a way to ensure essential travel continues.


A growing number of corporations are using sophisticated measures of productivity, quality and service—including service-level agreements, key performance indicators and scorecards—that enhance the effectiveness of travel and meetings expenditures and help to select and evaluate travel service providers. Examining the models of measurement they devise, what they decide to measure and the tools they use to measure it can offer real value to almost any organization.

Business Travel News, with the continued support of American Express Business Travel, for the third year in a row surveyed procurement and travel executives to measure the expectations they have about their companies' plans for travel and travel spending and examine how companies successfully balance performance measurement techniques with the value of long-term relationships with key travel suppliers.
