More companies push workers to book travel online

Article Abstract:

Online booking systems are being encouraged for employees who still make travel reservations the old-fashioned way, by calling a travel agent. Online booking systems have become popular among companies trying to cut travel costs. However, companies say they are missing huge savings from online booking systems, which allow employees to make air, hotel and rental car reservations on their companies' Internet system, that are supposed to slice 20% to 30% off travel expenses.
