FCm Travel Solutions has launched a new “door-to-door” ground transfer service that is aimed at providing Asian business travellers with a more efficient way of reaching their destination.
The corporate travel management company said it is now partnering a series of specialist local car companies who offer “professional drivers with excellent local geographic knowledge”. This, according to FCm, will increase productivity and reduce costs to employers.
“Not only does an efficient transfer service help reduce the cost in loss of productivity, but it also improves long-term value costs, and peace of mind for both the employer and employee; knowing with confidence the car company deployed for transfers is safe and reliable,” said FCm’s general manager, Bertrand Saillet.
“This is a key step towards FCm’s 2020 vision, a bespoke door-to-door approach that recognises the needs of the individual traveller, not just the employer.
“We’re looking beyond hotel reservations and ground transfers, tickets to the opera in Shanghai or VIP sporting events around the world,” he added.
FCm said the new car service was in response to the congested nature of many Asian cities, where business travellers often “wait around in lines of stationary traffic”.
The Economist reported in 2013 that expenses from congestion totalled US$200 billion across the UK, France, Germany and US, and is expected to rise to nearly US$300 billion by 2030.
FCm said that it also aims to provide Wi-Fi-enabled vehicles wherever possible, enabling travellers to connect whilst on the move and avoiding roaming charges.
