Characteristics of good traveling plan

A company travel plan is…

a strategy for managing the travel generated by your organization, with the aim of reducing its environmental impact.

Travel plans typically combine measures to support walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing. These are reinforced with promotion and incentives and by the management of workplace parking.

Travel plans also include action to reduce the need to travel, such as telecommuting.

They can focus on both commuter and business travel.

Experience shows that the benefits accruing from a travel plan can be extensive. Which benefits are most important to your company will depend on local circumstances and will partly determine the emphasis of your travel plan.

Great tour guides share their knowledge in an engaging, illuminating and entertaining way, rather than repeating a list of facts by rote.

6. Interactive

Effective tour guides also invite questions and interaction from tour members, rather than treating the tour as a one-person show or a ‘be quiet and listen’ school lesson.
