HILLGATE TRAVEL LEADS INDUSTRY WITH FIRST TMC WEBCAST
Hillgate Travel, the UK’s largest independent travel management
company, has announced the launch of a groundbreaking quarterly webcast,
available to clients at www.hillgatetravel.com <http://www.hillgatetravel.com>
.
The downloadable video can be viewed in Windows Media Player or iTunes
and can be transferred to an MP3 player for viewing on the move. The first
six-minute film details fare saving strategies devised by the company,
offering real examples of actual savings.
Andrew Burch, Business Development Manager, Hillgate Travel commented:
“We are known for our innovative use of technology and we are aware
that our clients are busy people. The webcasts are an efficient and enjoyable
way to convey sometimes complex information.
” Every company wants to reduce its travel spend, Hillgate Travel
has the expertise to ensure that our clients are getting more for their
money and we want to make sure that they are fully aware of the savings
that can be made.”
Five specific areas are covered in the first film, ranging from combination
ticketing to the use of leisure fares, delivering savings in excess of
50 per cent. The next video to be released later this year, is entitled
“Why use a TMC?” and will demonstrate how overall savings
far outweigh transaction fees. Subsequent webcasts will deal with a range
of subjects including safety and security while travelling.
Hillgate Travel’s webcast technology was devised by IT Director,
Mark Bull, responsible for all of its unique reporting, booking and security
solutions.
