The SAP Concur blog presents four ways to optimize business trips: using TripIt to automate itinerary management, combining business with leisure (bleisure), leveraging TripIt Pro for real-time notifications, and preventing business travel burnout. The article cites TripIt survey data: 35% of Americans plan a business or bleisure trip this summer, and 34% attribute increased travel to business travel growth.
SAP Concur published a blog post introducing a new email setting in TripIt that allows users to control which itineraries are shared with SAP Concur. Users can customize plan-sharing preferences for each connected email address, such as setting work email to auto-share and personal email to not share. Users can also edit individual trips to choose whether to share. The feature aims to help users separate business and personal travel while streamlining expense reporting.
TripIt from Concur has launched and enhanced several health and safety tools to help travelers navigate post-pandemic travel.
