In July 2012, KDS launched a competition asking participants to share a business travel story or anecdote via the KDS Facebook page. Stories told ranged from travel date confusion to having passengers stuck in a corridor whilst exiting their plane and KDS would like to thanks all those participants that have told their funny stories all of which illustrate the unexpected things that can happen during a business trip.

Soon to graduate from the ESCAET, Marie is involved with the Around the world in 80 hours program developed by ACTE, and already the programs participants have discovered travel and expense management in Beijing, Sydney and Delhi. Having worked as a travel buyer in several companies, this training allows me to gain additional knowledge of travel management, says Marie Cobac. Whats more, this program is a good way to understand business travelers themselves, their expectations and possibly to help find the balance between the travellers needs and the savings expected by the company.

Mobile Technologies are part of todays business travel and travel management professionals have to adjust their strategies accordingly. KDS offers a mobile version of its travel and expense tool, with the KDS Mobile application. Due to the increasing use of digital tablets by business travellers, this tool has become indispensable. During KDS Now 2013 (the annual travel and expense conference) KDS will launch officially the tablet app introduced last year: Neo, a door-to-door booking tool in a few clicks and in one minute.

The iPad has already been established as the next mobile device of choice by todays modern business traveller and so we are happy to offer this prize to this young travel manager, says Stanislas Berteloot, Marketing Director at KDS.
