All About Travel History
All About Travel is an affiliate member of BCD Travel, comprised of over 1,300 locations across the U.S. and more than 3,000 offices around the world. Total sales revenues of the combined BCD Travel network exceed $20 billion annually. Although All About Travel has been privately owned and managed since 1982, our affiliate status with BCD Travel allows us to take advantage of the industrys leading technology solutions, 24-hour worldwide emergency assistance, proprietary corporate and leisure travel discounts, as well as a variety of global resources that reach well beyond our own boarders.
Unquestionably, BCD Travel represents the fastest growing travel management network in the world. Easy-to-implement software solutions come form its sister company, TRX Technology Services, who enjoy the well-earned status as the industrys leading technology provider. All About Travels affiliation with the BCD Travel network overwhelmingly supports our business philosophy of integrating our client relationships with the superior services and technology resources of a global powerhouse.
In 1998, after years of having multiple locations, All About Travel made a key strategic decision to consolidate all of our business units (Corporate, Group and Meetings, Performance Incentives and Leisure Travel) into one centrally located U.S facility in Mission, Kansas. IT Systems, Accounting and Distribution are also housed at our main facility to enhance seamless workflow between our business units and customer fulfillment. This strategy effectively supports All About Travels four primary objectives:
- Maximize workload efficiencies
- Minimize operational/overhead costs
- Lower transaction fees
- Deliver superior service and account management support to our customers
All About Travels size and flexibility allows us to quickly adapt to industry changes and adjust to customer growth patterns as needs constantly shift. Decisions, as well as product and/or service implementations, can be accomplished quickly without the inherent impediment associated with multiple layers of management. As knowledgeable, objective providers of travel management resources, All About Travel focuses on providing superior service, unrivaled account management and development, customized cost reduction initiatives and "best-in-class" technology solutions that will enhance and sustain long-term partnership excellence.
The fundamental business principles and processes, which All About Travel is committed to and has invested considerable resources in, clearly define the levels of success we have achieved in client trust and partnering reliability:
