Wholly Australian owned, much of our success is a direct result of our dedication to personalised service. Each client, big or small, gets exactly what they need. This level of service is why we have retained our strong position in the market - we know that it gives us a distinct advantage over the multinationals. Booking flights and accommodation does not involve a great deal of science or mystery. Most travel management companies are capable of delivering similar travel transactions. The difference lies in the willingness and ability to make the booking process pleasant, the travel experience efficient and the cost as low as possible. Bay Travel Group is in a unique position - we are able to combine the buying power of a multinational with the ability to provide distinctive service. We provide efficient management of your travel needs in a way that saves you time, effort and money. We are the perfect size to be your partner. Yes, our substantial volumes and position in the market place affords us extensive industry advantages, however, we pride ourselves on being nothing like a call centre. Our hands-on management and ownership structure empowers our teams to ensure our systems and processes provide logical solutions to meet the needs of our clients. Each traveller is an individual with individual patterns and needs. We are able to adapt quickly to an ever-changing market and provide flexible client arrangements as required. We take great pride in the knowledge that our growth over the years has paralleled the success of many of our clients. We continue to deliver competitive pricing, fees appropriate for the service you require, and effective customisation to suit local conditions. We are very proud to have been appointed as a Qantas Platinum Agency (top 100 / 4500) - in fact, we continually gain recognition by most major airlines, hotel groups, wholesalers, cruise companies and car hire providers based on our unique combination of substantial buying power and outstanding reputation. For our clients, it means we can deliver privileged services at the highest level.

Harnessing BTGRS, we can deliver our clients an exceptionally high level of travel data and analysis. While this can be customised to each clients needs, a typical report may include: Historical spend by company, department or individual Industry benchmark comparisons Destination frequency and days away Savings achieved or foregone due to booking lead times Accommodation cost analysis and deviation from budget Frequent flyer program contributions Carbon emission monitoring Red flag alerts upon preset criteria, values or dates Risk Management Many companies are not aware of the responsibility that they have for the well-being of their staff members when travelling on business. OH&S legislation imposes a duty of care on management for the welfare of their employees. Managers are required to take all reasonable steps to ensure that no harm befalls an employee. In some cases managers may become personally liable for the well- being of staff. What airlines should you allow your staff to use? Which hotels should you choose? What destinations present an unacceptable risk? What procedures do you have in the event of a travel emergency? Can you contact your staff quickly for whatever reason? Our Risk Management Processes protect the well-being of travellers and reduces the potential of liability for claims. We assist our clients to align their policies according to travel risks. We have ongoing subscriptions, specic systems and special procedures in place to identify and mitigate these risks.
