Connectivity on the go
The modern business traveler is increasingly seeking the ease and flexibility to control all aspects of their travel even while on the go with the aid of their smartphones and tablets. This includes access to real-time data to research & buy flights online, track flight status and even look for restaurants in the destination city.
Self Service
Efficient self service options and solutions are also gaining popularity among travelers who are now looking for comprehensive platforms that while eliminating the need to browse and navigate through dozens of brochures for information, also provide all the necessary information, ideas and search tools for travel bookings.
