Off the shelf? Thank you but not for us!
Duke’s
Sports Travel provides tailor-made sports travel solutions. We never
forget that detailed, efficient service is central to the needs of our
clients. Many people think that the internet is now the only option when
booking travel, however we’d dispute this.
The internet is great, going online to make standardised purchases is both quick and easy.
However sports travel is NOT a standardised purchase.
Before placing your crucial sports travel arrangements in the hands of an online service ask yourself the following questions;
- Does that system have longstanding relationships with airlines?
- Can it demonstrate planning flair and creativity?
- Will it get you or your team out of a jam if a flight is cancelled at 2am?
- Does it understand that attention to detail is at the heart of service provision?
- Have the experirence to understand the unique needs of a travellinfg sports team?
OK,
so these are rather rhetorical questions but we’ve talked to many
clients who thought that the internet was the route to getting the best
deals. When in truth what they were getting was off the shelf,
standardised services which didn’t deliver the cost savings they
promised or understood the varied requirements of the client as an
individual.
Duke’s Sports Travel doesn’t do off the shelf, to us
every team or client is different and so are their travel requirements.
Our Service Charter will tell you more.
