Top 10 Tips For Building Safer Accommodation Programmes

We understand that building accommodation programmes is tough; there is so much to consider and the need to integrate robust measures around safety and security are more prevalent than ever; as well as the challenges of managing and maintaining these measures across so many vendors, including hotels, serviced apartments and more. 

“Traveler safety and well-being is the top priority for U.S. travel managers at small and midsized programs, while cost is their biggest pain point, according to a survey of 299 travel stakeholders at U.S. SMEs conducted by Corporate Traveler and the Global Business Travel Association.

The survey—conducted from June 17 through June 20 with participants from companies with between $200,000 and $10 million in annual travel spending—showed 40 percent named traveler safety as their No. 1 priority, and an additional 29 percent said it was their second- or third-highest priority. 

It ranked it as a higher priority than cost savings, which was named a top three priority by 57 percent of respondents, split about evenly in ranking it first, second or third, according to the survey. Companies with less than $1 million in annual spending were more likely to rank cost savings as their top priority.”
