What Is Travel Management & Booking?
Software for booking and managing travel – distinct from lodging operations (hotel PMS) and freight movement (TMS). It spans:
- Corporate travel management (T&E) – policy-aware booking + expense for business travellers.
- Travel-agency / tour-operator and tours & activities booking.
- Global distribution systems (GDS) – the B2B travel-tech that supplies air / hotel content to everything above.
Boundaries
- Lodging operations (front desk, housekeeping) ->
hospitality/hotel PMS. - Freight / logistics transport ->
tms. - Expense-only (no booking) ->
expense-mgmt.
