What does it mean to be a part of TPE?

In TPE, you get a 100% dedicated service center, which exists for you. We exist for our members because we are owned by our members. It is the very DNA of our business model and cost-based price structure, the combined effort leads to documented savings and substantial benefits.
With 28 years of experience in the business, we know what it means to conduct travel management with a global perspective. This equips all our members with safety in that we know how to maneuver in the dynamic and everchanging world of business travel management.
By leveraging the combined purchasing volume of TPE and by implementing procurement processes that optimize the daily operation and saves money, members get access to prices the company would never have reached on its own.
What are the benefits for my company?
