Priorities for the Business traveller
It was said that it was finished, over passed by virtual meetings and presentations via Webcam: instead, the Business Travel confirms its
importance in tourism and economy, registering and improving its numbers.
Nevertheless, the priorities for the business traveller have changed if we look at the past and not only looking at reducing costs: the new key words of the
travel manager are efficiency and liability. This is the result of a market research from “EVP Barometer 2015” done by American Express Global
Business Travel, analysing the changes in the business travel department during the past year. The survey remarks, in particular, which are the main
priorities when deciding and guiding the travel managers to choose different services: they are important values that have always been part of the offer of
Following the results of the “EVP Barometer 2015” done by American Express Global Business Travel, in 2015 the expense of the European
companies has increased 1,42% from the year before: more than double predicted, that yes it was going to increase but only a 0,7%. We should say,
we travel differently nowadays, reducing costs, shorter travels and alternating business class with low cost, but we continue travelling: even if digital
increases, nothing can beat a hand shake. And the trend is going up: the study of the “Barometer” says that the expense in the business travel
department will continue to improve even in 2016, between 1 and 3%.
So we can say that the main priorities for the business travellers have deeply changed: the “Barometer” has done a classification with the 3 main “must
have” priorities for companies that nowadays organise business travelling and have the most important guidelines when choosing services, from the hotel to
the car park at the airport.
In all 3 cases, ParkinGO, is the key answer for the new priorities of the travel manager: let’s see in detail these priorities of ParkinGO’s business
Priority N.1: Satisfaction of the traveller This important point is new this year as these last past years has been always
in sixth position. “Secure” and “convenient” are not enough to define a good service for the traveller: The experience of the journey must be positive
overall for the traveller so it increases the productivity in the company. ParkinGO looks always for the satisfaction of the client: a survey done in the
whole ParkinGO network, more than 97% of our clients have said to be satisfied with our service and would suggest it to a friend or family.
Priority N.2: Control over the expenses
50% of the European managers interviewed by “barometer” says to have done everything possible to reduce travel costs: the key word is “sobriety”,
more so in what everyone considers “Ancillary services” (taxi, cap park, laundry service etc..) that them alone could seem insignificant but together
could affect significantly to the total expense of the travel. Car parks themselves could affect an 8% of the total expense of the travel
(font by: White Paper “T&E Decision Tree”, Carlson Wagon Lit). The challenge is to be able to reduce the costs but not the quality of the service.
ParkinGO bases its offer following quality-price relationship: thanks to agreements offered by ParkinGO to different kind companies, the companies
can enjoy good economical conditions and at the same time make sure of the quality service of ParkinGO. For more information please send us an email to
Priority N.3: Security

vehicles through our alarm satellite integrated system, fire extinguisher system and digital images video registration, as well as our security staff 24
