Respond Please: Tips for Saving on Business Travel Expenses
Question: After taking an international business trip, your company's chief operating officer (COO) asks you for tips you can share to reduce business travel expenses (e.g., if possible, take the hotel shuttle to the office instead of a taxi, eat breakfast for free in the concierge floor lounge v. in the restaurant).
Ideas? Thank you for your suggestions. I am helping a client COO gather these tips to communicate across the company worldwide.
