Travel budgets are often one of the first areas in any company to be reviewed and scrutinized. It is possible to reduce your company's travel expenses without sacrificing necessary travel. While many large corporations have a corporate travel management program in place, there are many companies that do not and could greatly benefit from Creative Lodging Solutions' travel services.

Based in Lexington, KY, Creative Lodging Solutions has quickly become the solution for many companies by providing a corporate travel management system that is easy to implement. Companies will no longer need a specific department or designated staff to manage their travel dollars. Corporate travel management is handled by the staff at Creative Lodging Solutions and a weekly itemized invoice is provided to each client.

Corporate travel management is the function of managing a company's strategic approach to travel including vendor negotiations and the day to day operation of a company's corporate travel program. Creative Lodging Solutions is not a travel agency. A travel agency will provide day to day travel services to their corporate clients and makes the actual reservation within the parameters given by the corporation. The difference is a corporate travel management company, like Creative Lodging Solutions, negotiates rates with hotels and other travel related services to ensure every client receives the best rates possible.

Travel and entertainment costs represent the second highest controllable annual expense for most companies. This expense is only exceeded by salary and benefit costs. These costs are successfully managed by the corporate travel management from Creative Lodging Solutions. As travel and entertainment expenses touch on all areas within a corporation and represents such a major corporate expense, the need for corporate lodging specialists has never been greater.

Creative Lodging Solutions has done significant research and has negotiated rates at over 4,000 hotels nationwide. Additionally, Creative Lodging Solutions has $50 million in buying power to get the best rates available for effective corporate travel management.
