TRIP MANAGER is a web-based, self-booking product supported by WORLDSPAN, a global CRS company. TRIP MANAGER allows travelers to make their own corporate travel reservations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, while giving travel managers the means to administer and enforce corporate travel policy.

TRIP MANAGER offers business travelers a real-time trip planning and booking system that's easy to use. The system provides a customized profile for each traveler incorporating the individuals' travel preferences with the company's corporate travel policy, including preferred air, car and hotel programs. The browser-based interface makes information easy to access and reservations are automatically sent to a NTM agent for ticketing and quality assurance. This enables complete and accurate corporate reporting, which may not be possible with public Internet site reservations.
