Internet is turn-off for travel deals, says firm.

More and more businessmen and women are logging off the internet to make their travel arrangements, according to bosses at a Leamington firm.  Bosses at Travel Management Group, in Dormer Place, said people in business had little time to trawl the internet for travel deals and were increasingly turning to the experts for help.

David Moore, director of operations with TMG Corporate, said: "We are finding time and again that they are coming to us to handle all aspects of business travel for them rather than to spend hours on the net."

TMG arranges a raft of services for clients such as pre-booked and discounted on-site and off-airport car parking spaces and access to private airport lounges in more than 75 countries.  Mr Moore added: "Of course while our top team of experts, with their in-depth knowledge of the industry, make the travel arrangements, our clients have more time to concentrate on running their own companies instead of being bogged down on the internet.  There really is no substitute for talking to an expert."
