American Express Business Travel to launch online booking tool in India by year end :
American Express Business Travel, a travel management company specialising in corporate travel in order to position itself as an online leader recently announced plans to launch a business to business online networking community for the corporate travel industry. A first of its kind resource, will bring together a consortium of industry decision makers, suppliers and experts in the industry's most extensive online, community platform.
Apart from this, the company which has had an online booking tool in Singapore since 2003 is adding to its existing online product suite with a new online booking tool and fare loading system that will give clients quicker and easier access to the best available fares of the day. American Express Business Travelalso plans to launch an enhanced online booking tool in India later in the year.
“We have had an online booking tool in Singapore since 2003 and there is strong demand from our customers in that market for an enhanced offering. To date the industry infrastructure hasn't supported a fully online self service booking tool which is why we have created our own to give our customers access to the most relevant and accurate online content available. We expect this enhancement to double our online usage rates by the end of 2009. In more mature markets such as Australia the majority of domestic bookings are now done online. Later on in the year we will be launching an enhanced online booking tool in India ,” stated Libby Roy, GM and VP American Express Business Travel, Japan , Asia Pacific and Australia .
American Express Business Travelhas reported a strong half year in Asia Pacific with new wins up 33 per cent and sales up 36 per cent till June 2008. Companies like Australia Post in Australia , Invensys in India , Emerson and Symantec in Singapore , and Kraft China that recently signed new or extended agreements with American Express Business Travel across Asia Pacific have contributed to this growth.
Expecting the growth trend to continue as companies look to drive further cost savings into their travel programmes, the company recently appointed Jonas Borglin as the Director, Business Development, Advisory Services, Japan, Asia-Pacific and Australia. “Many customers we work with have focused on how to travel smarter and implement strategies to drive savings so they can keep travellers on the road. It is in this type of environment that our Advisory Services offering becomes an even more valuable resource for our customers to take advantage of,” said Roy .
