Madrid, 12 July 2023. Consultia Business Travel, a Spanish company specialising in the all-in-one management of business travel, closes the first half of 2023 with excellent results.

Consultia Business Travel starts the new semester with good prospects and expects to maintain the current level of its total turnover.
In the first half of 2023, the number of bookings handled by the company, through its technology platform Destinux, amounted to more than 21,000 operations, compared to more than 13,000 in the same period of 2022, which translates into an increase of more than 60%.
Growth driven by the entry of new customers
The main reason for this growth is the attraction of new clients, who come to Consultia Business Travel for its efficiency and personalised service. Thanks to this value proposition, in constant innovation and updating of new functionalities, the company has managed to attract more than 20 new clients in the first half of 2023, with a portfolio of more than 6 million euros, which, compared to the first half of 2022, represents an increase of more than 50% in new business.
“We are perceiving a greater influx of new customers who rely on our services looking for savings in the management of their corporate travel through the automation of processes with our Destinux tool, by the demand for a personalised service that allows them to solve incidents in real time as well as for the management of MICE events. Having our own technology allows us to constantly innovate in order to respond to customer needs and the trends we detect in the market,” says the company’s CEO, Carlos Martinez.
Investing in travel software
More and more companies need to adapt to the new needs of organisations and the new profile of more demanding business travellers, which is why they need to invest in travel software. The digitalisation and professionalisation of business travel allows companies to adapt the system to their specific characteristics and needs and also to those of the corporate traveller.
In order to meet this need, Consultia Business Travel has developed Destinux, the digital and automated solution for the all-in-one management of business trips. A tool that gives travellers autonomy so that they can organise their own travel programme; including their stay, different train or plane journeys, their transfers, and reach agreements with the different people in their organisation who are going to travel together. The system offers autonomy to search and book hotels and tickets, to know all the available alternatives, to create budgets, to retrieve them and to have all the documentation organised in your own travel agenda. Destinux provides users with the necessary tools to plan their travel and stay in such a way as to optimise time, reduce costs and minimise environmental impact. It also offers the Personal Travel Assistant service, with which the traveller has an assigned person at their disposal who is responsible for resolving any possible unforeseen events that may arise during the trip.
