While business travel budgets have remained flat in many parts of the world, in Latin America business travel spending has grown at an annual rate of 7 percent. Brazil, which represents roughly 60 percent of total spend in the region, has grown at a significantly faster pace. Growth has been particularly pronounced as of late – 22 percent annually compounded over the last two years.

With the new Travel Policy Engine from GetThere, you have the ability to build more flexible rules that meet the needs of your program – and won’t necessarily put out your travelers – with relative ease.

Living in Dallas doesn’t always make it easy to take a train when I’m traveling on business.  But whenever I’m on the East Coast or in Europe I find myself using rail instead of flying.  It isn’t some personal goal I have, taking a train when I’m in those locales, it happens mainly because it’s convenient, easier and in my opinion, better. The ability to...

New Coke—customers didn't want it.  Ford Edsel—customers thought it was ugly. Apple Newton—customers didn't know how to use it. Each of these product launches were tremendous flops for well-established brands that tried to do something different and innovative.  In their attempt to foray into new territory they forgot that more important than being innovative is listening to your customers. While GetThere is focused on delivering the newest innovations in travel technology, we also want to ensure we are delivering products that our customers want, like and can easily use.  That is why our user interface design work is so important.
