BCD Travelhas taken toYouTubeto let clients know about the advantages of usingTripItto organize their trips.
Here’s the YouTube video, which is probably a couple of minutes too long.
BCD Travel selected TripItfor itinerary management last year and this video takes a poke at business travelers who choose to stick with the old way of doing things.
Hopefully, “Michael,” the road warrior in the video who likes to track his trips by pinning up yarn from destination to destination on his office map, will learn, as the video puts it, to “evolve.”
It’s interesting, too, that a large travel management company sees YouTube as a means of informing clients about new tech products.
BCD Travel, the global travel management company, signed a global distribution agreement with Sabre’s GetThere, making BCD Travel a reseller of the corporate self-booking tool.
The pact formalizes the relationship between BCD Travel and GetThere as many BCD Travel clients already use GetThere.
In fact, GetThere says the tool is used by business travelers in 76 countries, and the majority of the 100 largest travel programs in the U.S. use GetThere.
GetThere says that BCD Travel, as a GetThere reseller, will be able to influence product enhancements and gets access to GetThere customer service resources.
BCD Travel, of course, already had an agreement with the GDS side of the Sabre business.
