Travel management company

Travel Management Companies (TMCs) are organizations that manage organizations' corporate or business travel program. They will often provide an end-user online booking tool, mobile application, program management, and consulting teams, executive travel services, meetings and events support, reporting functionality, and more. These companies use Global Distribution Systems (GDS) to book flights for their clients. This allows the travel consultant to compare different itineraries and costs by displaying availability in real-time, allowing users to access fares for air tickets, hotel rooms and rental cars simultaneously.^[1]

Some major TMCs include: Travel Solutions International (TSI USA), American Express, BCD Group, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, Concur Technologies, Hogg Robinson Group, and KDS.
