Trouble-Free Travel Planning for PAs
Date: 19/10/2009 - 20/10/2009
Even if you have never been stuck in Poland without a visa in minus 10 °C, the mere thought of something like that happening to you on a business trip is frustrating beyond belief. Companies rely on their Personal Assistants to co-ordinate increasingly complex business travel arrangements, while watching costs and cutting through international (and local) red tape.
BizTech has responded to the need for the development of the skills that make travel arrangements run smoothly, and is therefore offering a course which covers the following key topics:
IT’S A SMALL WORLD
• How to navigate the globe: general geography on a need-to-know basis
• Understanding the implications of time zones, and using web-based calculators
• Understanding just enough about foreign exchange to get a good deal and the best service
• Common visa requirements and how to research more specific ones
• Factors to take into account when preparing an itinerary
• Covering all your bases: travel warnings, weather and health risks
• Travel insurance: when you need more than just the automatic credit card cover
• Did you know…some useful tips and advice from travel experts
ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR ORGANISING TROUBLE-FREE TRAVEL
• Crisis management and contingency planning: how to keep your cool and handle just about anything!
• Making yourself understood: communication skills that won’t let you down
• Super-efficient planning and organising techniques to keep on top of everything
• Research skills: developing your network of information resources
• If you don’t know now: how to find out
• You are responsible: it’s not ok to just blame the travel agent
PARTNERING WITH YOUR TRAVEL AGENT
• Setting up fool-proof processes for communicating instructions
• Checklist of essential services that need to be provided
• Negotiating Service Level Agreements with your agent
• Building and managing your relationship with your agent
• Putting your company’s travel policy into operation
• Understanding the financial cycle, from authorisation, to payment, to reconciliation
• The corporate travel agent’s wish list: what your agent expects from you
