When your crew needs room blocks for its stays, it can be hard to make sure that you are paying for the rooms which are actually occupied on a night by night basis. Many companies think that it is the norm to pay for the entire block of rooms even when employees don’t spend some nights in their allotted rooms. Nothing could be further from the truth. Hotels stay quiet about such empty inventory because it suits them (after all, their core business is selling rooms). You need to work with a travel manager like CrewFacilities so that the room occupancy of your team can be monitored on a daily basis. Such tracking will ensure that you aren’t charged for unoccupied rooms when members of your crew don’t stay in their rooms for any number of reasons, such as when they leave to spend a weekend with their families. Tracking the nightly room occupancy can easily be forgotten by your in-house travel manager as a result of being busy with other duties at your office. A specialist like Andrea Tsakanikas and her team at CrewFacilities.com will have systems in place to keep an eye on that metric so that the cost of empty inventory doesn’t add an unnecessary cost to your employee travel budget. In fact, we will give you an itemized statement revealing how many rooms were occupied for each night that your crew was in the field. You can then compare the cost-savings earned as a result of this vigilance with what you were spending before you hired an external travel management entity for your company. Just because the hotel charges your crew for all the nights they indicated when checking in doesn’t mean things should be that way. Get expert travel management help from Andrea Tsakanikas and you will start paying for only those rooms which have actually been occupied by your employees.
