Corporate Travel management: Dealing with it after 9/11
No one can forget the historical 9/11 attack by the terrorist and the aftermath of such attack. Terrorist shook not only America but whole world and the after math could be seen in every field, be it any business. The same effect were also noticed in travel and also in corporate travel management deals. Before 9/11 incident, corporate travel management was mostly for booking low fare tickets and good accommodation and all but after 9/11, it has taken sharp turn and it pays much attention towards safety and security against terrorists along with booking low fare tickets. Although terrorist would not surely attack any business traveller but it made corporate travel management people to rethink about their safety and security measures.
As every business follows all parts of any country so corporate travellers need to move from one place to another in order to grow their business all over. In this way, while in travelling they become vulnerable towards many kinds of terrorist attacks. They are more prone towards any attacks, crimes and natural disasters too. Hence after 9/11 all American companies are paying more attention towards corporate travel management. The American government are forcing business executives to go with corporate travel management rather than booking tickets and accommodation online by self. The main motive behind these corporate travel management teams are that if when anything happens, then these companies know where business travellers are in case of any kind of emergency.
Another impact of 9/11 had been in improving the communication. Now there are round the clock emergency services being offered by corporate companies so that you do not feel completely alone when you go to any place where you might need some help. For better kind of coordination, they have come up with many crisis management mechanisms that can be followed. Now, the travel policies are linked with security policies and this corporate travel management are doing very good. So, security concerns have increased since past happenings of 9/11.
