Kanoo Travel, American Express offer cost savings

Kanoo Travel and American Express Middle East have announced the signing of a partnership to offer large and mid-sized companies the American Express Business Travel Account, described as an effective and streamlined way to manage corporate travel expenses.
With this partnership, Kanoo Travel, a major travel management company (TMC) and pioneer of the travel industry in the GCC, becomes one of the first travel-focused organizations to introduce the American Express Business Travel Account (BTA) in the region, enabling Kanoo clients to consolidate their corporate travel expenses through one centralized account, requiring one single payment.
This provides organizations with enhanced visibility, simpler reconciliation processes and reduced paperwork. As a result they benefit from accurate data.
“I sincerely hope that our valued customers across all regional, Middle Eastern and Northern African markets will embrace and benefit from the BTA program,” said Nabeel Kanoo, director, Kanoo Travel.
“American Express is delighted to work with Kanoo Travel, our long-term partner for travel-related products in the region, to offer this innovative solution to their travel clients” said Mazin Khoury, CEO, American Express Middle East.
“Managing and coordinating the travel spend of several employees can be a resource-intensive process that adds significant costs to an organization. Integrated billing solutions like the BTA can facilitate streamlined business travel expense processes that enable greater flexibility and cost control.”
He added: “Companies using the American Express Business Travel Account stand to benefit from savings on process costs related to the reconciliation of travel expenses, as well as from strengthened management control of such costs.”
