The management of urban transport can sometimes be chaotic - even during strike weeks - and the problems are of course proportional to the number of passengers... In other words, to get dozens or hundreds of participants to a corporate event, it's best to turn to a specialist, and if possible add a layer of "security" to the mix. technology. This is the purpose of the approach initiated by American Express Meetings & Eventswith the launch of Meetings Ground Transportation. TMC's events division turned to the miMeetings to offer a new platform dedicated to land transport. Taxis, VTClimousines, express trains and airport shuttles are all part of this new tool, which is designed to make it easier for you to get to your destination. reservation and the management of this mobility. In particular, Meetings Ground Transportation has to optimise travel, adapt to unforeseen events such as flight delays or cancellations, ensure that this ground-based component is compliant, meet the requirements of the travel and meetings policy and deal with the issue of the "right to travel". duty of care. The aim is not only to ease the burden on organisers - American Express Meetings & Events promises them gain an average of 15 working hours per event - but also to rationalise this management through the use of reporting. Savings could reach between 22% and 30% of total costs. " Land transport has long been a constraint for all those involved in organising meetings. "says Linda McNairy, Vice President of Americas at American Express Meetings & Events. She adds: " Remaining transparent, keeping costs down and organising events has not always been easy for meetings planners; an event participant's first impression can easily be tarnished when delays or problems arise as a result of poor management. "With the right solutions and the right partners, it is possible to make ground transportation a strategic part of any meetings programme. Meetings Ground Transportation makes ground transportation management simple and easy, something that was not possible until now. ".
