About Direct Travel
Direct Travel runs corporate travel programs. It pairs travel technology with human support, so travelers can book on their own while experts step in when plans change. Its Avenir: Travel Edition platform is built to make booking simpler and to give the organization a clear view of where travel money goes.
The company's focus is on improving a travel program year after year rather than simply processing trips. Program management, reporting and support work together to raise the traveler experience and give finance and travel managers more control over policy and spend. For organizations whose people travel often, that means fewer surprises on the bill and fewer stranded travelers.
