BCD Travel has launched an innovative solution in travel technology: Total Trip Planning. The difference with other travel planners is that this solution plans from door to door, and not just from airport to airport.
It offers a unique combination of commercial, public and personal transportation. In addition, travelers can choose the best option, whether their preference is driven by price, travel time, environmental impact or the ability to work or sleep while on the move.
Total Trip Planning makes it easy and relevant for travelers
Statistics show that more than 40% of business travellers check at least three different sources when researching and planning their trips. BCD Travel and routeRANK offer a solution that saves business travelers a lot of time and effort: Total Trip Planning. This solution offers travelers one website where they can plan their complete trip from door to door, using different transportation modes. The tool gathers information from various traditional booking channels and additional resources such as timetables of public transport, travel time by car and impact on the environment. This gives the traveler access to options that would otherwise not be found within one single source. In a single view travelers can determine which journey is best for them. What’s more, they can also save up to 2,5 hours in research time and 35% on the total travel costs.
“Total Trip Planning fits into any travel policy. Whether you focus on comfort and productivity for your travelers or on the environment, Total Trip Planning shows you all the options”, says Diederik Banken, Vice President Commercial Benelux at BCD Travel. “But really special about this solution is the possibility of door-to-door planning, and not only from airport to airport. You’ll get the fastest from Antwerp to London by plane. But what if you live in Kortrijk? If you include the time to get to Zaventem, check-in and customs control, you’re not only much faster from Kortrijk to London by train, but you’re also more productive on the go.”
