Organise Business Travel

The My Mentor series of professional development eBooks empower individuals to succeed in their workplace through targeted business knowledge and practical exercises.

This eBook describes how to organise domestic and overseas business travel, including developing associated itineraries, booking travel and accommodation, preparing travel related documentation, and making travel arrangements. 

It is written for employees in a range of work environments that are responsible for the organisation of business travel. They may work as individuals providing administrative support within an enterprise, or have responsibility for these tasks in relation to their own work group or role.

Readers are stepped through the process of organising business travel in the following sections:

Organising –  confirming the purpose of travel plans including itinerary, budget, meeting requirements and preferences; making and confirming meetings; and preparing and distributing daily itineraries and necessary documentation to the traveller.

Reserving – making bookings; checking and confirming travel arrangements; and if requirements change, negotiating and reconfirming any alternative arrangements in accordance with organisational requirements.

Confirming – finalising credit arrangements in accordance with organisational policies and procedures.

Whilst some included web links refer Australian domestic travel resources, the principles and processes outlined in this book will apply equally to a global market.
