First-of-its-kind corporate booking tool honored as exemplary Online Travel Service/Overall Booking Interface in competition sponsored by Travel Weekly
Chicago, IL — (September 18, 2017) AmTrav, a leading business travel agency that makes business travel easier, today announced that the company’sfirst of its kind corporate booking tool, a2b, has been honored with a gold award in the Online Travel Service/Overall Booking Interface category of Travel Weekly’s Magellan Awards for 2017.
“We are very excited to be recognized as outstanding among our peers with this Magellan Award,” said AmTrav President Craig Fichtelberg. “It is very gratifying that our mission to provide customers with an exemplary, innovative product is appreciated and cited on a national and even global scale.”
The Magellan Awards honor top travel organizations and professionals worldwide for outstanding work and high standards of excellence within the industry. The competition is sponsored by Travel Weekly and travelweekly.com, which are top media resources for travel professionals. AmTrav’s gold award win will be highlighted in a special Magellan Awards section of the October 2017 issue of Travel Weekly.
AmTrav’s a2b’s platform, which was cited for the award, employs a clean, modern user interface that makes booking and managing travel for individuals and staff — while monitoring and controlling travel costs — both easy and quick. a2b also offers unique features that are critical to business travelers and their employers, such as traveler/preference/payment self-management; a corporate discount manager; in-flight amenity manager; interactive, real-time reports, and more. a2b is part of AmTrav’s all-in-one travel platform that out-performs today’s largest providers of corporate travel management services, which often amount to hard-to-use, behind-the-scenes amalgamations of third-party tools by different vendors. As a comprehensive, stand-alone solution, the a2b tool allows AmTrav to be much more nimble and responsive than any other company in the industry.
a2b is available with no contracts, no commitments, and no fees.
