CTMG Offers Web Fares Through Travelocity

CTMG teams up with Travelocity to offer business travelers Internet fares through its website at www.corptrav.com.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 20, 2003 - In keeping with its history of innovations, Corporate Travel Management Group (CTMG) today announced its partnership with Travelocity to offer access through CTMGs website at www.corptrav.com.

Combining the expertise and personal service of its agents with the Internet search power of Travelocity, this new program gives corporations stronger control over travel management budgets. All Travelocity/CTMG reservations can funnel through CTMGs quality control tool, AutoCOP®, which will automatically ensure policy compliance and usage of the lowest available fare.

Data can be further managed by CTMGs reporting tool, AutoTech®, which will allow for a complete view of corporate spending and leverage opportunities in vendor negotiations. Corporations may also realize a savings of more than 50% of their transaction fees through this avenue.

This partnership also fulfills travelers desire for a full service Internet booking option. CTMG agents will have access to the PNR, allowing for traveler support. In the event of an en route emergency or a simple request, 24-hour assistance will be provided.

Travel managers and travelers, who have longed for the moment when they could end their battle of the travel agent versus the Internet, are ecstatic about this news. "The popularity of Internet search tools in leisure travel has increased travelers' desire to look outside traditional options for business travel. This shift has caused travelers to unknowingly affect negotiation leverage and the ability to monitor policy compliance. CTMG's tool serves a dual purpose that we're excited to employ," said Terry LaRock, Vice President of Silicon Valley Bank and long-term CTMG client.

Headquartered in the Chicago suburb of Lombard, CTMG has developed innovative travel management solutions for companies around the country since its founding in 1976. Its services include one-on-one account management, 24/7/365 agent access for any travel need, customized services and reporting options, on-line booking tools, emergency assistance, and much more.
