With global business travel expenditure continuing to increase and forecast to reach AED 6 trillion by 2020, the chances are that your organization incurs significant T&E (travel & expenses) costs. For many companies, T&E has grown to become the second largest operational cost after salaries and here in the Middle East with the additional annual leave ticket entitlement, it is not uncommon for these expenses to account for 12% or more of a company’s annual budget. So with that in mind, the big question is “are you happy that your organization has a managed travel programme that among other things is focused on keeping these costs at an absolute minimum?” The answer is probably no and that’s where we come in.
T&E procurement in this region has failed to follow global best practices and as a result, there is a significant amount of wastage or unnecessary overspend because for many businesses there are inadequate controls in place to ensure the best possible travel ROI. And why? Simply, because for the majority of UAE-based organisations no single Travel Management Company has accountability for their entire travel programme.
Sky Line Travel has been taking care of business travel for almost 40 years and we exist for one reason and one reason only, and that is to care more about your travel than anyone else by taking ownership of your T&E. We treat every one of your travelling employees as if they are family and every dirham of your expenditure as if it is from our pocket, and this is how we do it.
