Corporate Department Mission Statement:
To assist the corporate traveler to plan and execute business travel easily economically and conveniently
For many companies, travel and entertainment represent the third largest controllable cost of doing business. As travel professionals, we understand that providing the most cost effective use of your travel dollar is one of our most important responsibilities.

Airline tickets, hotel stays and car rentals comprise the majority of your travel budget. Brookfield Travel can control, monitor and potentially reduce these expenditures through adherence to your corporate travel policy. We will work with you to establish negotiated purchasing contracts with suppliers, management reporting for travel expenditures and utilization of our staff for travel planning.
Brookfield Travel can fulfill your travel needs and cost objectives without compromising quality of service.

Corporate Business Objective
One of your business objectives is to control and account for expenses. Brookfield Travel will assist you in meeting this objective by establishing and implementing a corporate travel policy that is acceptable to both your travelers and your bottom line.
Brookfield Travel will also provide management reports that will help you monitor and control expenses. These reports will help identify trends and could result in additional savings from the airlines, car rental companies and/or hotel chains.

Brookfield Travel’s Business Objective
Our primary objective is to secure travel products and services at the lowest possible price while meeting both your and your traveler’s expectations.
