Yet, as 590  \nrespondents responsible for managing the Travel & Expense (T&E) budgets of their Corporations told us, they are under pressure more than ever to demonstrate a Return on Investment of travel spend whilst ensuring the security and comfort of their travellers.  \nAt Amadeus we are committed to helping Corporations identify opportunities for savings using the best technology, enabling those responsible for T&E management to meet these objectives.  \nThe data obtained through this research helps Corporations understand how they compare with their peers in terms of how mature their current processes and technology are. We can see that more and more Corporations are equipping themselves both with Online Booking tools (OBT) and Expense Management systems (EMS) that allow them to optimise their processes end to end.  \nSo whether, as this report identifies, your Corporation is atthe high end of sophistication when it comes to managing T&E budgets or whether you are at the start of enhancing your organisation’s travel processes, let´s discuss how Amadeus can help you shape the future of your Travel and Expense management programme.  \nFlorian Tinnus  \nHead of Corporate Solutions Amadeus IT Group  \nTen key insights:  \n2015 European business travel and expense analysis  \nAfter several years of decline,  \nbusiness travel spend in Europe is once again on the rise.  \nThe main reason that European  \nCorporations spend on travel is to acquire and develop clients  \n(and less for other reasons).  \nParadoxically,  \nbusiness travel spend is still considered a cost  \nas opposed to an investment.  \nOrganisations plan to increase their activity abroad  \nin the coming three years, with Europe as their main destination (over outside-Europe travel).  \nControlling direct costs is still the main priority  \nfor those managing the T&E budgets, but ensuring traveller security is gaining significance.  \nTravel managers rely on an OBT to reduce their direct costs  \n(59% of OBT users have saved more than 10% on their travel budget through its implementation) and are increasing both equipment and adoption.  \nCorporations believe direct cost-saving optimisation has reached a plateau  \nand that they now need to focus on optimising their indirect costs (process saving, workflow validation for pre-trip/ post-trip and expense reimbursement).  \n4  \n2  \n3  \n1  \n5  \n9  \n8  \n10  \nConsequently,  \nprocedures and automated  \nprocesses to monitor and control expenses are on the increase.  \nEnd to end systems  \nare on the rise, and Corporations  \nare equipping themselves with both OBTsand EMS, either integrated or as separate solutions.  \nFour different clusters were identified to describe an organisation’s maturity  \nand compared with previous studies, Corporations are making an effort to gain control of their Travel and Expense budgets, although results across industry verticals and markets vary.  \nAfter several years of decline, business travel spend in Europe is once again on the rise  \nOrganisations have increased their travel budget by 0.8% in the last 18 months, reversing the declining trend observed for the past two years, and inline with overall corporate investment in the Eurozone.  \nThe main reason that European Corporations spend on travel is to acquire and develop clients (and less for other reasons)  \n56% of an average travel budget is now dedicated to commercial development  \n+10 pts compared with 2013  \nand at the expense of meetings, events or intra- 0rganisation trips.  \nTrip motives (weight in the budgets)  \n2013 2015  \n46% 56%  \nMaintain / develop existing clients  \n ","cbCaih4hcoU7Yed3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih4hcoU7Yed3","pdf",1375934,7,"English","# Foreword\n## Ten key insights\n## Travel and expense spend trends in Europe\n## Trip motives and budget allocation\n## Cost vs investment perspective\n## Growth plans and destination focus\n## Duty of care and traveller security\n## Technology adoption: OBT and EMS","[{\"question\":\"What changed in European business travel spending after a period of decline?\",\"answer\":\"Business travel spend in Europe is once again on the rise, reversing the declining trend observed over the past two years.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do European corporations primarily spend on business travel?\",\"answer\":\"The main reason is to acquire and develop clients, with relatively less budget allocated to other purposes.\"},{\"question\":\"What is increasing in importance for corporate travel managers regarding traveller security?\",\"answer\":\"Duty of care and traveller security are gaining significance, with most organisations seeking tools to locate employees and enable repatriation in emergencies.\"}]","2015 European Business Travel and Expense Analysis - Ten Key Insights | PDF",1789273716]
