Negotiation a Key Element to Corporate Travel Market in New Survey from AirPlus

AirPlus International, a global provider of corporate travel payment and analysis solutions, releases March’s The Wire…from AirPlus entitled: Corporate Travel Negotiation Practices. The survey results show that among 100 responding corporate travel buyers, negotiating preferred travel supplier contracts has saturated the corporate travel space. It also shows, however, that corporate travel buyers approach contract terms differently per supplier category and that new spend categories are breaking into the managed travel market.
