Business Travel News has published its Procurement Practices Survey 2008. It examines how and how much such practices are
being applied to travel. It provides an understanding of the
expectations travel and procurement practitioners have about travel and
travel spending in the near term as well as their outlook on the
relative importance of controlling costs versus ensuring a suitable
level of service.
The survey discusses specific contractual agreements that establish
service levels and measurements of current and prospective travel
supplier performance and traveler behavior.
