FINAL CALL!

Corporate clients wanting rental cars anywhere in New Zealand between New Year and Easter are strongly encouraged to book these now. We are poised to receive record numbers of inbound tourists, competing for the same rental vehicles. It’s best to cover your business trip and book these now; if it doesn’t proceed we can cancel the car.

Sustainability and your corporate travel in 2024. We can help you make those initial first steps towards a more sustainable approach to corporate travel and if you want to ensure your travel policy is fit for the future. There is no denying that there has been a noticeable awakening of the world’s conscience when it comes to our impact on the environment and the movement is gathering more and more momentum as time continues. As a result, there is an increasing amount of expectation being placed on corporate organisations to address their own environmental footprint; expectation from customers who are demanding more social responsibility, expectation from the government in the form of legislation and expectation from employees, who want to know that they’re part of a company that cares about the future of the environment. Call your usual ATPI Client Relationship expert for a discussion about how to add sustainability to your travel policy in a practical way.

Many clients who qualify for APEC cards will find that their cards have expired. If you a have new passport you do need to reapply for your card. Keep in mind the application process is around six months.
