"How can I avoid tourist hotel prices this summer?" 🏨
Summer often means hotel (& accommodation in general) prices skyrocket, especially in tourist areas.
So what can you do to avoid it? 👇
Look for accommodation that isn't ideal for a tourist, in ways that don't affect you.
For example, a hotel not in a good area for the local attractions might have better prices.
If you can't be bothered searching, and would rather just have us find you the best price, just let us know!

Are you struggling with limited hotel availability when booking your business travel?
Here’s a solution 👇
18/06/2024
“Why should I request refundable rates when they cost more?” 👇
If you regularly have to cancel or alter your hotel bookings, then it may be more cost-effective to book with refundable rates.
You might be losing more in cancellations than you would in the extra cost of refundable / flexible rates.
If you often leave booking until the last minute because you aren't sure about dates, then you might also save money by booking early on refundable rates.
It's worth doing some calculations based on your estimated bookings.
Got any questions? Just let us know in the comments!

“What should I bring when working away in the summer?” 👇
💛 A mosquito-repelling bracelet or lemon body wash to keep you bite free.
💛 A 360 degree neck fan to beat the heat.
💛 Hydration multiplier packets to mix into your water to give you more energy.

How often should you review your travel policy? 👇
At least yearly, in April, due to the rise in minimum wage causing prices to increase.
You should also do regular checks to make sure it's being followed, and update it if there's a clear reason your team are ignoring it.
Regular surveys to check your team agree it meets their needs, and the corresponding changes are also a good idea.
You could do these checks at the same time, but doing them in Sept/Oct means that it has a better chance of being up to date.

Here's why your team might not be hppy with their accommodation 👇
💛It's close to site, but in a noisy area.
💛The booking requirements didn't match what they actually need.
💛You asked the team about it years ago & still base the booking on this.
It's time to do an anonymous questionnaire about what they actually need & want from their accommodation!

This Mental Health Awareness Month we decided to raise awareness & show support by all wearing green to our office day.
Why green?
To combat bias and discrimination! In the 1800s, the colour green was used to brand people who were labelled “insane.”
The children's mental health community decided to continue using the colour green, but with a completely different focus. Green signifies new life, new growth, and new beginnings.
You can also see the Alzheimer's Society Forget Me Not in the photo.
