Delivering the Perfect TripMessage from Doug Anderson, President & CEO
When it comes to business travel, does a “perfect trip” exist? At Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT), we believe it does. We are not talking about every trip being free from interruptions or unexpected changes, which are inevitable in today’s world. Rather, a perfect trip is one in which technology enables us to quickly and proactively manage disruptions so travelers can stay focused on accomplishing their business. Even more perfect is contributing to your travelers’ success by putting everything they need at their fingertips and providing recommendations to help them navigate unfamiliar locations.
Not surprisingly, frequent travelers tend to lead the way in adopting mobile technology and pushing for improvements that make their lives easier, whether at home or on the road. CWT understands that mobile functionality is a critical component of our service to travelers and their
organizations – so much so that in 2012 we acquired WorldMate, the leading developer of mobile technology in travel, giving us control over our “mobile destiny.”
That announcement capped off a milestone year in CWT’s mobile journey: earlier in 2012, our CWT To Go™ mobile application was named Innovation of the Year by travelers at the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) Annual Convention in the
category of Outstanding Apps. Looking ahead, we are working with our new WorldMate colleagues to further enhance CWT To Go by offering a broader range of on-the-go services to travelers and to provide travel buyers with more information to monitor spending and track travelers in a crisis.
On behalf of my 20,000 CWT colleagues around the world, thank you for choosing to spend some of your valuable time learning more about our organization via this brochure. We hope our commitment to perfecting travel is evident in the following pages.

Business Travel
Business travel is a key driver for getting things done. However, its effectiveness is dependent on travelers receiving the support they need to be productive and safe during their trips and on travel buyers having access to information and tools to quickly adapt to ever-evolving internal and external dynamics.
That is why CWT organizes itself around Traveler Services and Program Services, with a variety of products and services tailored to the specific needs of each.
CWT To Go CWT To Go, our award-winning mobile application, is available for iPhone, Android
and BlackBerry devices. It gives travelers everything they need, including:
Automatic itinerary synchronization to the app and to their calendar
Notification of flight changes and cancellations
Click-to-call CWT for help with rebooking or any other en-route needs
Destination information
CWT Hotel IntelCWT helps travelers inform their colleagues about their experiences at company-preferred hotels with CWT Hotel Intel, a secure travel review site
created specifically for each CWT client company. The site combines travelers’ ratings and reviews with information on the company’s agreement with the property, including the negotiated rate and complimentary amenities, so travelers can make more informed decisions about which hotels
best meet their needs in a given location. CWT Hotel Intel is part of CWT Hotel 360, an array of hotel products and services that improve traveler satisfaction and save companies money by providing access to the most hotels and best rates.
We are providing our travelers the best choice possible, based on their feedback. In just a few clicks our travelers know which hotel their colleagues have recommended, if the hotel is available and which services are included within the negotiated rate...

Traveler Services Your travelers are some of your organization’s most valuable assets. With CWT, they are free to focus on business rather than travel mechanics, improving their productivity and thus making them even more valuable to the organization. We make their travel reservations quick and easy with experienced, professional travel counselors and full support of online booking tools that allow them to book anytime, anywhere. CWT fulfills each transaction, providing travelers a single point of contact for anything they need before, during or after the trip. Thanks to CWT’s buying power as the travel provider to millions of travelers, we are able to access the best air fares and hotel rates and the most suppliers, no matter how travelers book their trip. And, CWT provides a variety of tools to help travelers manage their trip details and preferences, from an online portal that provides security, health and other travel-related information about their destination, to a mobile application that puts their travel details at their fingertips.

With mountains of data available, understanding your travel program’s performance can be complex, which makes knowing how and where to improve it a time-consuming task. CWT helps you put all the facts and figures into context, bringing insight into the state of the program and revealing where you can focus to drive the greatest results. We help review the quality and accuracy of your data and work with you to prioritize opportunities, take action and measure progress.
We can continually improve how your travelers engage with your travel program and how your organization performs against its supplier agreements and compared to other organizations. And, we keep your data organized through tools like CWT Program Management Center, an online travel management information center that visually illustrates your program’s performance against your goals. We also give you powerful tools to help you improve program performance, like CWT Program Messenger, a messaging tool you can use to send customized messages to individual travelers, correcting non-compliant behavior before a trip or providing positive reinforcement for booking within travel policy.
Program Services
CWT Solutions Group
CWT Solutions Group, the global consulting arm of CWT, brings innovation into the equation by pushing the boundaries of traditional travel management into new areas. The group is currently exploring big ideas and emerging solutions such as adaptive travel policies, assessing and understanding the hidden costs of traveler stress, the use of gaming mechanics and scorecards to drive traveler compliance, managing connectivity costs and more. Our airline, hotel and ground transportation practice areas help
travel buyers source and continually improve their managed programs in these areas and our policy and compliance practice is dedicated to strengthening travel policies and travelers’ compliance to those policies.
CWT Safety & SecurityOrganizations have a responsibility – and in some places, a legal obligation – to provide a safe working environment for their employees, including when they are traveling on company business. This is one of the most critical functions of a managed travel program in today’s unpredictable world.
CWT can help you prepare for the next security threat, natural disaster or other incident affecting travel or meetings and events. We provide an array of safety and security products and services at highly competitive prices to help you:
With CWT Safety & Security, you have access to the information needed to take action before, during or after a trip or meeting. Travelers gain access to destination-specific information before their trips and can be kept updated en-route via targeted messages sent to their email or mobile device.

Anticipate disruptions to travel

Assist travelers in rebooking or evacuating affected areas when necessary
A typical business trip for workers in the oil and gas, offshore and marine services, and alternative energies sectors is often vastly different from trips made by travelers working in other industries. Their mode of air transportation is as likely to include a helicopter as it is an airplane and the bed they lay down in is probably located on a floating oil rig or a campsite rather than in a hotel – often in destinations that present heightened security risks.
No one understands and delivers on this group’s unique travel needs as well as CWT Energy, Resources & Marine. For more than 30 years we have been helping these industries’ leading players get to and from their work sites safely and efficiently, with expanded safety and security services and tenured travel counselors dedicated solely to this specialized type of travel.
Specialization: CWT Energy, Resources & Marine
MOTLI
CWT Energy, Resources & Marine offers its clients specially negotiated offshore and marine airfares with airlines via its wholly owned consolidator company, Marine & Oilfield Travel Logistics
International (MOTLI).
Your Place by CWT
The unique lodging facilities used by some organizations, including but not limited to those in the oil and gas, offshore and marine services, and alternative energies sectors, are often not available to shop and book in the
same way as more traditional hotels. However, it is critical these options show up in travel search results so travelers are aware of and use these valuable resources. CWT solves this problem with Your Place by CWT,
which makes your company-owned accommodations available in the global distribution system alongside other properties. Travelers can view and reserve room nights at these facilities just as they would at a typical hotel,
enabling your organization to better utilize these options, track the spend and locate travelers in an emergency.

Meetings & Events
CWT Meetings & Events has been called upon to put our proven imagination to work for leading organizations the world over: for more than 40,000 events in nearly 200 countries, in fact. Our success is based not just on our decades of experience and expertise, our supplier relationships, our global reach with local presence, or our core competency of helping people get from Point A to Point B safely and efficiently. It is also based on our proven ability to provide end-to-end solutions for any meeting or event imaginable. Our experts work to understand the purpose behind your meeting or event and customize an agenda that accomplishes those objectives, providing maximum return on investment. From creating a unique theme to designing training sessions and team-building activities, we know how to tie it all together to ensure attendees are engaged and leave energized and motivated to produce your desired results. And, because every expenditure is under scrutiny these days, we help planners demonstrate the return on investment of their event and assist them in complying with reporting requirements, where necessary.
Our M&E service does not stop there. Organizations can deliver more value for their M&E budgets and bring more benefits to meeting attendees by taking a holistic look at all meetings and events held across the organization and managing them consistently. CWT Strategic Meetings Management helps clients with everything from sourcing company-wide agreements with preferred suppliers, to planning and executing meetings & events, to payment and expense reconciliation and data reporting and analysis. We help establish M&E policies that make planners’ lives easier and implement technology that streamlines the booking and reporting process.
CWT Meetings & Events specializes in four areas
From a routine business update to the award trip of a lifetime, we help clients give recipients memorable experiences to deliver maximum value from every occasion.
The entry point for many into Strategic Meetings Management, we help clients tackle this effort to deliver savings, decrease risk and keep meeting planners focused on results.
We manage the logistical aspects of getting your delegates to and from your meetings and events, including handling complex itineraries and unique requirements. Attendees are managed as a group rather than as individual travelers, ensuring coordination of travel plans and providing meeting planners easy access to travel data.
We help organizations holistically manage their meetings and events using best procurement practices, bringing visibility, management and control to M&E sourcing while enabling planners to deliver unique meetings and events that fulfill business objectives.

Responsible BusinessCWT and its employees are committed to the highest standards of business conduct, as well as to helping our clients travel more responsibly. We reinforced that commitment by signing the United Nations’ Global Compact in 2012, agreeing to operate within the Compact’s principles related to the environment, labor, human rights and anti-corruption. We also established a Responsible Business function to bring together our many existing efforts around the world under one, defined global strategy and to launch initiatives to implement that strategy.
CWT also plays a key role in helping clients fulfill their Responsible Business obligations and policies, by helping organizations track their travelers on the road and assisting them in understanding and reducing the environmental impact of their trips.
