Question
I need a well-known government travel consultant

  Hi Soren,

 We're looking for a travel consultant or expert who specializes in government travel.  We're putting together an online site for state and federal government travelers and contractors who do business with government.

  We need someone who is well-known in government travel circles - a person who speaks at the conventions, writes for newsletters etc.  We not only need his assistance, but his prominence, reputation and credability as well.

  Who is a well-known government travel consultant?

 Thank you

Hello Michael,

I was responsible for government travel for Global Travel (all federal travel in Idaho) for several years.  During that time noone really jumped out to me as The expert on this topic.

However a good start would be to contact GSA (responsible for all Fed Gov travel) and see who they reccomend.  Also, attending their conference or at least getting a copy of their most recent agendas and seeing who the keynote speakers were might be a good start.

This link may help get you started with GSA:

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

I am able to answer questions related to corporate travel management. I am particularly strong in the areas of corporate reporting, travel policy development and vendor relations.

Experience

I have been working in the travel industry for over 13 years. I spent 7 of those years as the point of corporate customer contact for a large ($100 million+) regional travel agency. I have since started my own travel related company, providing on-line management reporting to corporate travel departments and agencies via the internet.
