Our Business

JTPL works with its clients to respond to the complexities and challenges of business travel management while addressing the needs and expectations of travellers. JTPL sees travel management as a multi-faceted undertaking.

Offering best-in-class traveller services and optimizing transaction processing.
By using online booking tools for simple transactions, companies can reduce their total travel costs by up to 15 percent. For complex itineraries and special services, applying the skills of expert travel counsellors is a key to traveller satisfaction. Equally important is providing travellers with a full range of services designed to meet their needs from the moment of booking through their return. Implementing the service configuration that best balances a company’s requirements for service and savings plays a primary role in supporting these objectives.

Capturing hotel spend
The cost of hotel stays, which typically accounts for 30-50 percent of a total travel budget, can be reduced when companies approach their hotel program in a disciplined and professional manner. By optimizing negotiations with independent properties, as well as chains, and implementing a policy that couples the need for savings with traveller comfort, convenience and security, companies can improve compliance, enhance traveller tracking, and more effectively manage their hotel spend.

Optimizing air and ground transportation
Air spend typically represents the bulk of travel expenditures and opportunities for greater savings still exist. Getting travellers to book in advance and use restricted fares, as well as balancing spot buying with negotiated fares, help to reduce costs. Concentrating volume with a limited number of preferred suppliers for larger volume-based discounts is also important, as are negotiations with airline alliances. Ground transportation, which includes rail, car rental, limousine, chauffeur-driven 'black car' and taxi services, does not always receive the same attention as air although it can represent 10 percent or more of a total travel budget. In many markets, rail travel offers an effective alternative to air in terms of cost, travel time and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Careful analysis of a company’s ground transportation data and relevant information on suppliers and competitive agreements can go a long way in negotiating the best terms and stabilizing costs over the duration of a contract.

Enhancing policy compliance and demand management
Well-designed travel policy and traveller compliance are the cornerstone of an effectively managed travel program. Best practices in both of these areas can lead to savings of on average 20 percent of total travel spends. These savings come from improvements in Below Mentioned areas:

• Advance air booking
• Restricted airfares
• Preferred suppliers
• Traveller comfort (air class/hotel category)

Increasing travel programs consolidation
Companies can enjoy savings of on average 20 percent on average, as well as enhanced service and security, when they consolidate their travel programs regionally or globally.

Addressing meetings and events expenditures
By integrating meetings and events in their managed travel program, companies can tap into a potential source of overlooked savings. They can also benefit from many of the same traveller services their travel management company offers.
