29 Dec 3 TIPS FOR BETTER CORPORATE TRAVEL IN 2016

DON’T SETTLE FOR BAD CORPORATE TRAVEL

Corporate travel is a part of our lives that is always changing, with new technology, airline policies and budget restrictions coming in and going out. One thing about corporate travel that doesn’t seem to change is how stressful it can be. As we head in 2015, you might be looking for a better way to experience your corporate trips.

Keep reading for easy ways to improve your corporate travel experience in 2016.

MAKE THE LEAP FOR CORPORATE CAR SERVICE

If you’ve been relying on rental cars, cabs, public transit or ride-sharing services until now, 2016 is the year to finally opt for superior transportation.

How can corporate car service dramatically improve your next business trip?

• Corporate car service provides chauffeurs instead of drivers; chauffeurs are professional, well-trained, drug-tested, background-checked, and have local expertise
• Corporate car service companies are attuned to the needs of the business travel far better than a cab company or ride-sharing service
• Corporate car service provides you with a virtually stress-free commute; no driving, hunting for parking or contending with the craziness of other drivers. Just a peaceful ride while someone else drives, parks and negotiates pick up and drop off times.

Ground transportation is one of the most important parts of the business travel puzzle. 2016 can be the year you finally get it right.

SQUEEZE IN MORE LEISURE TIME

More and more business travelers are opting to squeeze in some leisure time on top of their business demands, and it makes sense. You’re already in a destination city—why not spend some time enjoying its features and attractions?

Leisure time is also beneficial in avoiding burnout. If all you do for 72 is stare at documents and discuss projections, your brain is going to go into a rut. Heading out to see a movie, visit a museum or relax in a park can help break up the monotony and recharge your batteries.

Another benefit of leisure time? It can help you get familiar with the home city of an important client. Remember: good client relationships depend on more than just business. Learning about their home city could help you make a personal connection with them, which is highly valuable in continuing relationships.
