“Rogue bookings” continue to be an issue for corporate travel programs, according to the 4th edition Egencia Business Travel and technology Survey. Egencia is the business travel division of Expedia. While 60 percent of companies have a travel policy in place, more than half of the business travelers surveyed are still allowed to book travel using any method they choose, and a full 46 percent have done so for hotel bookings, according to the survey. To reign in these tendencies, the study suggests that relevancy, incentivization and clear policies can pave the way. Business travelers book out-of-policy because either they could not find a hotel close enough to their destination (37 percent), or found a better price or hotel within their per diem (37 percent). Providing relevance in a travel program, according to the survey, means a selection of hotel choices at the top of an online search that are tailored to the needs of the business travelers as far as location, flexible booking options and price.
