Directors Comment
Where are we headed in 2008 ?..........2007 was an exceptionally strong year for corporate travel. Whilst global financial markets have experienced some 'turbulence' in recent weeks it doesn't seem to have effected demand for corporate travel (yet)....business class cabins are often full, hotel rooms in many cities are still at a premium. Are we going  to experience a downturn in demand soon? No one really knows, but we have sensed that many customers are becoming more cost conscious in there selections eg. premium economy class on daytime flights, 4 star verse 5 star hotel rooms. Its in times of uncertainty that a tailored professional travel management solution is more important than ever."
