Musafir.com, UAE's premium travel website, has introduced Musafir Plus, a unique online travel service for companies aimed at making corporate travel easy and convenient. Musafir Plus offers clients a unique Musafir QuickSearch desktop widget which can be used to search for trips from the comfort of a desktop at the click of a mouse. Musafir Plus is presently active for companies and will soon be available to travel agents.
The service is designed to intelligently track and maintain records of a company's negotiated rates and highlight them enabling travel managers to make quicker and better choices, in addition to savings on the travel budgets. Additionally, Musafir Plus allows companies to review travel plans online at any time making it highly convenient to adjust last minute changes or plan new travel.
Albert Dias, Co-founder, Marketing and Technology Director – Musafir.com explained, "Booking a trip through a typical travel agent can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few days, during which time customers often lose deals as they sort out paperwork, choices and approvals. Musafir Plus allows different departments in a company to collaborate online when it comes to travel, saving paper, middlemen and most importantly, time. In fact, booking a conventional trip takes less than two minutes using Musafir Plus, while still meeting company policies."
Musafir Plus allows companies to empower different departments and individual staff members to plan their own travel from the first step, avoiding disappointments, lengthy phone conversations and email exchanges about the trips they would have preferred. The service's personalized and password-protected accounts also ensure that companies can keep track of which staff members booked trips and on whose behalf. Clients can choose to automatically enforce company travel policies on Musafir Plus taking the hassle away from travel and finance managers.
Musafir.com also offers a full suite of corporate travel services to complement those available on the website such as worldwide transfers, travel insurance and inbound visa assistance.
