I am a business owner and have to travel a lot for business
purpose. Last year when I was traveling to Edmonton I faced some bad
experiences on my journey. Since that I have become extremely careful and
conscious when traveling within the Stateline or across the border. I have gone
through many travel magazines and surf on the internet to find out how to
organize a hassle free travel, especially a business travel. Thankfully, I came
across some of the amazing tips in travel magazines like British Columbia
Magazine, Caribbean Travel and Life, Cruise International, Escapism Travel
Magazine, Getaway, National Geographic Traveler and many more. These tips
turned to be really useful and helpful as well. Now I know how to organize a
hassle-free business trip. So, if you want to know about the tips, continue
reading the article.
Visit Online Before
The Travel: There are many new websites on business travel that keep
sharing tips and ideas on how to organize a business trip. They offer the
chance to business travelers to explore the place online by knowing its
politico-social condition, climatic condition, whether or not it is prone to
storm, earthquake or any kind of natural disaster. These websites also share
ideas on coordinating travel plans and make trip more comfortable. While some
companies help the travelers organize the plan by making a master itinerary,
others provide color-coded seat maps to identify superior or inferior seats on
many aircrafts.
Remember The Charge
Card: In a business travel, charge cards are always a viable way to pay for
airline tickets and car-rentals, because should there be any problem, charge
cards and your business will remain safe and protected. Moreover, charge
provide paper trail which makes it easier for you to stress the expenses you
made on the travel. I always make it a point to give business cards to my
employees as well, so that they can charge all the expenses related to
business. Business cards can also keep you away from the IRS problem by
distinguishing business purchases, which are tax deductible and personal
purchases, which are not tax deductible. In addition to these, another
significant advantage of using charge card is that some companies offer perks
like frequent points.
Safety Precaution:
As a business owner I have learned that it’s my responsibility to adopt all
kinds of safety measures possible when traveling out of the city, especially
abroad. I instruct my employees to leave a photocopy of my passport and travel
itinerary with friends or family members. This is because in case I lose my
documents, my friends or family members will be able to send the photocopies
overseas to embassy official.
Always Have Backup:
The likelihood of losing business-related files or documents on the trip can
cause a serious problem. That is the reason why I always make it a point to
take back up of all critical files. I store business documents on multiple
devices and in multiple locations; including laptop hard drives, flash drives,
and CDs.
Hire Car-Rentals
Ahead: If you are traveling within the Stateline and hire car-rentals for
that, then it is advisable to do it ahead. Go through several websites and
consult different car-rental agencies to find out the best car type and best
estimate. There are many websites that compare the estimates across different
places to offer you the best deal. To know more about the site, visit us.
