Travel
management company TripActions has developed a new solution that allows
users to book and manage small meetings, the company has announced.
Dubbed
Team Travel, the feature was created in-house, has been fully integrated
into the TripActions platform and is available to all users, according
to a company spokesperson.
TripActions designed the tool to bring
together "distributed employees", considering the hybrid and remote work
models that have become prevalent since the Covid-19 pandemic started.
The tool currently allows for up to just 20 attendees for events, but
there are plans to expand this in the future, according to the TMC.
With
the tool, users can create and customise meetings and events, including
such elements as destinations, event start and end dates, participant
information, preferred hotels and payment methods.
Team Travel also
includes Covid-19 destination data, visa requirements and
carbon-emissions information, according to the company. Planners can
book accommodations at the same time and set up room blocks for
attendees to self-serve or book through an event organiser.
In addition, the tool can estimate an event's overall travel cost using AI algorithms, according to the company.
