Social networking comes to corporate travel buying
A social networking website for corporate travel buyers has been launched.
Sssource.com says it is the first site of its kind and offers users the chance to gather information about business travel and meetings suppliers, load profiles and network with other people in the same industry. Users can also start forums on the site’s blog pages.
The site claims it is the only site of its kind where buyers gather information about suppliers of corporate travel categories such as TMCs, airlines, hotel groups, car rental, meetings organisers, expense payment systems and ground transportation.
Karen McGee, managing director of SSSource, says: “UK corporate travel buyers and suppliers alike have been saying for some time they want their own social networking site. Buyers will welcome the chance to link up with other buyers and where they choose to do so with suppliers and industry experts to obtain adviceâ€.
