Aspen travel are specialists in business travel
The role of the travel agent has changed considerably in recent years from being a simple booking agent to providing a true travel management consultancy.
Aspen Travel is set to change the concept of business travel by offering clients unlimited choice and flexibility through a completely transparent costing system, the ability to use traditional 'travel agent' services and/or the utilisation of advanced web-based technology.
By choosing Aspen Travel as your travel management partner you are choosing a company with the flexibility to offer you a number of solutions whilst saving you time to carry out your normal day-to-day work responsibilities.
We will offer you:
- a more relevant, flexible way of working;
- an open fee structure where you pay only for the services you use;
- huge savings through a combination of 5.2 million unique air fares;
- advanced technology enabling more choice on-line and off-line;
- data capture on all bookings - even if you book direct with the supplier via our on-line booking system.
In our experience achieving cost control over a travel budget, whilst not reducing the quality of travel, is only possible by consistent travel management.
Our objective is to make the business of travel simple, stress-free and cost effective through a professional, pro-active and personal service. We will strive to fulfil and exceed your expectations and ensure you capitalise on cost control and service efficiency.
One Aim
To provide a quality of service second to none guaranteeing professionalism, dedication and the relentless pursuit of the best value for money.
One Initiative
Combining technology with a pro-active approach to cost reduction.
One Solution
The combination of retaining the fundamental values of our traditional business travel services, and building the value-added opportunity of driving the business electronically.
