Travelocity Business’ Tom Wilkinson Recognized for Pioneering Work on New Generation of Corporate Travel Agency

SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ — Travelocity Business(SM) today
announced that Tom Wilkinson, director of global agency services, was named
this week to the Business Travel News (BTN) list of Top 25 most influential
people in the corporate travel industry. Wilkinson began working with
companies more than two years ago to create a full-service travel agency model
that uses online and other travel technology to significantly drive down
corporate travel costs. The result of Wilkinson’s work has been millions of
dollars in savings for corporations and a blueprint for the new generation of
full-service corporate travel agencies.

“While many people believe corporate travel is just now going though a
transformation, Tom’s work started having a profound impact on the industry
more than two years ago. He began working with some of America’s largest
companies, and has proven a new model that helps companies significantly
reduce costs without sacrificing service. This approach is the cornerstone of
the Travelocity Business offering today,” said Ellen Keszler, president of
Travelocity Business.

“I’m very grateful for this recognition from Business Travel News, but
more pleased that this topic is gaining greater awareness,” said Tom
Wilkinson. “I have always been a believer in technology and how it can be
used to streamline corporate travel and reduce costs. It also gives companies
greater insight into how their travel processes can be more efficient, and
almost forces them into re-engineering mode. I’ve been gratified that the
travel managers in our program cite not only the savings they have achieved on
booking costs, but also that the time they save managing agency operations
allows them to improve their use of vendor discounts. It’s a positive chain
reaction.”
