Travel management platform TravelPerk has launched a new solution designed to enable customers to organize event trips.
Named TravelPerk Events, the solution is designed to help teams plan, book and manage business trips for corporate events such as offsite meetings and seasonal parties.
According to TravelPerk, the tool was developed in response to the growing trend of hybrid and remote work models in which teams are spread across multiple locations. Microsoft’s recent Work Trend Index shows that more than 70% of respondents would like flexible, remote working to continue as the world adjusts to the ‘new normal’ following the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
The company said TravelPerk Events users will have a single solution for managing team events, such as sending invitations and tracking responses; share trip details, including names of participants, logistics, agendas and a larger itinerary; keep participants informed of additional details or changes; and view participants’ travel plans, including arrival and departure times and accommodation details.
Attendees have the option of booking their trip through the event page, eliminating the need for planners to arrange travel and accommodation via email with attendees, according to TravelPerk.
TravelPerk said Events is live on their platform and will be updated with additional features over the next few months.
TravelPerk continued significant international growth throughout 2021, having acquired travel sustainability company Susterra in September, UK travel management provider Click Travel in July and US rival NexTravel in January. The company raised $ 160 million in Series D funding in May.
