Business Travel Management

Cost Reduction

 » Business Travel Management » Cost Reduction

More urgent business trip, more cost than necessary

According to our analysis, the largest expense within the total corporate travel costs is the airfare, accounting for nearly half. Additionally, affordable flight tickets and hotels may not always represent the optimal conditions.

In general, it becomes difficult to arrange cheap air tickets less than a week before departure.

In many cases, the company does not make it a rule that business travelers can earn frequent flyer miles on flights that they prefer, even if they are more expensive. In addition, there are cases where a business traveler purchases the lowest priced ticket and then changes the flight due to a change in the business trip schedule, which in turn increases expenses.

Similar situations for hotel or car rental bookings

There are also tips and tricks for booking hotels and rental cars. Especially with hotels, there are non-refundable rates at the lowest price, which can lead to seemingly cheap reservations becoming unexpectedly costly.

There are trends in making optimal purchases for these services.

Our analysis of the many cases we have handled to date shows that whether or not this optimal purchasing is achieved tends to vary from business traveler to business traveler, with the same people always buying near the high end of the price range.

If even a percentage of your company’s travel expenses were optimally purchased, how much money would you save?
It is also very important to book not only according to price, but also according to conditions, including the ability to make changes and refunds that are appropriate for your business trip.

KIE’s services maximize your cost savings!

Manage unused tickets

Managing unused tickets can be very time consuming and often not used before the expiration date. This management eliminates the waste of airline tickets that expire without being used.

Introduction of online booking tool

The online booking tool can also set travel policies and alert you to any bookings that deviate from these policies. In addition, special airline rates and hotel corporate contracts can be displayed, greatly simplifying the process of bundling travel arrangements and helping to save money and time in the booking process.

Proposal of various programs and representation in corporate discount negotiations

Based on the unique characteristics of each company’s business travel, we provide introductions to discounts and incentive programs (such as performance rewards) offered by airlines, hotels, and more. Furthermore, when considering corporate discount agreements, we offer assistance and representation in negotiations with airlines, hotels, rental car services, and other aspects.

Visualization by expense report

We will make proposals for reviewing business travel regulations by comparing cost savings and the market based on annual business travel results.

Inquiry about the services

KIE Preferred Hotel Program

We have established direct contracts with various hotels to secure exclusive discounts through Kintetsu. These discounts are based on various Kintetsu rates, and some hotels offer additional benefits. In recent times, there has been an increase in hotel chains that implement cancellation fees even for hotel member rates well in advance. In contrast, Kintetsu rates typically include cancellation fees from the day before the stay at most hotels, making it an extremely convenient program for arranging business hotels. Furthermore, through our online reservation system, you can also book Kintetsu discount rate hotels with our company.
