How do I set up a Corporate Travel Department?
I am (by default) my companies travel administrator. I would like to do a cost comparison with one of the options bringin our travel in house. I’ve found a lot of information, but nothing that tells me what is required to do this. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
Hi Kandy! I just responded to your other question when I saw this, so I’ll respond to this one as well.
There are many great resources out there to assist you in setting up a Corporate Travel Department. I have a few questions so that I can offer the most relevant information possible to you. (I’ve got over 20 years of experience in the meetings/travel industry.)
1. Are you overseeing both transient & group?
2. Do you currently have any policies in place or are you starting from scratch?
3. What aspect of travel will you be overseeing? (i.e. air, rental car, hotel, etc…)
4. Do you have a rough estimate of your organizational travel spend? (If not, that’s alright as most corporations do not have a good handle on this as travel can be coded under many different line items on a P&L statement– from marketing (account sales calls) to training & many other areas.
Looking forward to hearing more!

Traveling Wilburys (2 CD / 1 DVD) $16.40 The Traveling Wilburys were one of the few supergroups that lived up to their promise, because they didn’t try to. Things started inauspiciously when George Harrison, needing a B-side for a 1988 single, called in friends Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison for assistance. Two albums later–the second without Orbison, who had passed away shortly after the first was released–the loose… |

Thickfreakness $8.95 Akron, Ohio’s Black Keys offer crunchy, riff-heavy blues-rock that is remarkably rich and textured, particularly when one considers that they are merely a duo. Continuing in the vein of their 2002 debut, The Big Come Up, this sophomore CD leavens their garage blues with enough innovation to keep things interesting, taking full advantage of Dan Auerbach’s full-throated growl. Particularly appealing… |

Alice in Wonderland (Masterpiece Edition) $11.21 Walt Disney seems to have had a special affection for Lewis Carroll’s “Alice” stories. “Alice’s Wonderland” (1923), a short about a live-action little girl in a cartoon world, led to his first successful series, the “Alice” comedies (collected on Walt Disney Treasures: Disney Rarities–Celebrated Shorts, 1920s -1960s). During the early ’30s, he talked about making an animation/live-action feature … |

Planet of the Apes [Blu-ray] $10.93 Many early science fiction films are now, quite inadvertently (and in most cases undeservedly), objects of camp attention: we laugh at the silly makeup, tin-can special effects, and the naive “high-tech” dialogue. Planet of the Apes is no such film. Its intelligent script, frightening costuming, and savagely effective conclusion (which needs no big-budget special effects to augment its impact) rem… |
