The Tourcom travel distribution network

The Tourcom network specializes in professional travel and business tourism. Today, Tourcom is considered the European leader in the all-inclusive travel market, offering a wide range of services from transport to accommodation (hotels, exceptional locations, etc.). Considered one of the most reliable in the tourism market, the Tourcom network is acclaimed for the quality of its offers and the access it provides for managing accommodation and travel. In fact, Tourcom is a network of excellence that is gaining in notoriety, particularly among professionals, who are increasingly looking for comprehensive services tailored to their needs from A to Z. Cost-effective and flexible, the Tourcom network eliminates the need to call on several service providers when managing tourist and business travel. Working with service providers based in France and all over the world, the Tourcom network has succeeded in providing users with offers that are both attractive and, above all, easy to use, thanks to the creation of increasingly innovative Tourcom booking tools.

The Tourcom network in figures

Created in 1994, in 2017 alone it counted over 1,200 member travel agencies and over 628 sales outlets capable of acting effectively in France and abroad.

Tourcom network: solutions for professionals

Are you a company looking to organize a business trip for your staff or executives, or to welcome a client on a one-off basis? You have specific needs, quite different from those of a leisure trip. Companies need access to certain services: seminar room rental, airport-hotel transportation, special meals, event management... Thanks to this affiliation, Tourcom's partner agencies, such as CTA Business Travel, can respond much more advantageously to professional requests. Tourcom takes into account all kinds of constraints linked to the specific needs of professionals, thanks to a range of booking tools specially designed for SMEs.

Simplified travel management with the Tourcom network

Companies who manage their business travel themselves use generalist sites, given the low prices they advertise. However, this method of management often requires a step-by-step approach to research: choosing transport, then hotel, then routing... Many criteria are not taken into consideration, especially for professionals, who are subject to a predefined Travel Policy. Generally, when searching for accommodation, basic requirements are entered in the search form (length of stay, departure and arrival times, range of accommodation services, etc.), but the form is limited. It does not provide any information on the ancillary services offered by the selected establishment. The Tourcom network has succeeded in setting itself apart from its generalist competitors by using high-performance reservation systems, allowing variations that greatly facilitate the management of an accommodation service for professionals.

Tourcom network-certified tools

When it comes to choosing the right accommodation for your business, all types of services are available through the Tourcom network. Unlike traditional methods, which involve a considerable amount of research time, you don't have to contact a hotel directly to check the availability of certain services (airport-hotel transport, secure wifi, seminar room, etc.). What's more, you generally have to plan the availability of a seminar room, for example, around the date of your business trip. The Tourcom network has thought ahead about these kinds of constraints for professionals who travel frequently. Thanks to Tourcom's certified tools, restrictive, limited and sometimes stressful search methods are no longer a problem. You can considerably reduce the time spent on your bookings.
