The scheme is a part of new self-booking innovative tool which allows qualifying firms to manage their cost, schedule and overall travel requirements.

"This product enables individual business travellers of the registered SMEs to manage their travel needs on their own, while providing complete visibility

Another unique feature of the tool is 'Spice Points' which enables the SME travellers to obtain further discounts on their future travel.
