答案
A; Our company is planning to reduce the amount it spends on business trips. We have to suggest ways of doing it.
B: In my opinion, the absolute best way to cut the costs of the business trips is not to take some trips in the first place, that is, reducing the total number of trips. Indeed some of the travels are not at all necessary. I think this can be done by not taking part in unneccessary conferences and avoid unneccessary travel by using IT systems such as videoconferencing and email as substitutions for some expensive travels.
A: I totally agree with you. You know, some of the face-to-face talks can simply be replaced by a conference call and some travels can be arranged at a later date in conjuction with another trip. I think we cannot shiftout them. The problem that there are trips so necessary that we cannot do without them. Then, in your opinion, are there ways to reduce the cost of the trips?
B: Yeah, for some trips we have to make, there are also ways to reduce the costs. I think we should always consider first the cheapest ways of getting around, that is, train and bus, and plan in advance to pay less for the air fare when we have to travel by plane. Generally, the cheaper the air fare, the less flexible it is. The cheapest fares don’t allow you to make any changes to your booking. So we can save money by planning ahead and using a less flexible ticket.
A: I see what you mean. Besides that, accomodation is also a major expense. The company should encourage the staff to stay in normal hotels instead of expensive hotels and always ask for a discount.
B: I agree with you. Also, when it comes to local transport, employees should be advised not to chooose convenience over cost-effectiveness. For instance, a taxi is much less expensive than a chauffeured car. To make this effective, we can offer some incentive reward to those who save costs in their travel for instance, if the destination is an attractive one, we can allow our employees to stay one more night at leisure when it is weekend.
A: Good idea. By doing so, I think we can surely have a significant reduction of travel costs.
