Does Spencer Corporate Travel only manage group travel for events?2026-01-07T17:42:43+11:00

No. We can manage every aspect of your travel logistics when travelling for business meetings, events and conferences. Our services include booking flights, accommodation and ground transport, travel insurance, sourcing meeting venues and booking meeting rooms, creating event registration websites, and booking pre- and post-event travel activities for extended breaks, such as local tours, experiences and team building activities.

What business travel technology is suitable for SMEs and growing businesses?2026-01-05T08:08:11+11:00

Modern business travel technology is designed to scale. SMEs and growing businesses should benefit from the same visibility, control and traveller support as larger organisations, without the complexity. The right travel management technology reduces manual admin and gives teams confidence that travel is managed professionally and safely.

How does business travel technology support duty of care?2026-01-05T07:56:19+11:00

Business travel technology provides real-time traveller tracking, alerts and emergency communication tools. This allows businesses to quickly locate and support travellers during travel disruptions, safety incidents or emergencies, meeting duty of care obligations and protecting employee wellbeing.

Can business travel technology help reduce travel costs?2026-01-05T07:56:24+11:00
