Corporate travel agency, BCD Travel, expects a shortage of accommodation and flights to Brisbane around the middle of July when the Final State of Origin match is scheduled to take place.
Business travellers intending to fly to Brisbane on or around July 15 should book their corporate travel early or delay or bring forward their business travel to avoid disappointment.
BCD Travel provides more than a corporate travel booking service, they are also highly experienced groups and incentives organisers. The first step in planning business travel and meetings incentives conferences exhibitions (MICE), is to check if any major community activities are occurring in the city of your event.
Business travel should be avoided at the time of major community events as demand becomes very strong for flights and accommodation, meaning corporate travellers will likely pay higher prices and could miss out on flights and accommodation.
BCD Travel has an event calendar on its public corporate travel website that is designed to assist corporate travellers planning trips away. Other upcoming events include the Wallabies vs Italy match in Canberra June 15-18; the Wallabies vs Italy match in Melbourne on June 20 and the Wallabies vs France match in Sydney on June 27.
