What is Concur?
Concur is one of the largest players in the arena of corporate travel. This technology provider offers end-to-end solutions that allow corporations to manage corporate travel through a closed booking environment that empowers employees to book and manage their own business travel, while ensuring compliance with company travel and expense policies.
Its rapid growth and far reach – more than 38,000 clients and 46 million travelers – makes Concur one of the most powerful channels to use when targeting corporate travelers. And with many businesses making Concur the only option for corporate travel bookings, properties who aren’t sharing their story on this channel are missing out.
