Managing Your
Budget
Kintetsu is a multi-national, multibillion-dollar transportation
conglomerate. In the travel business, that means big and big is good. Big
ensures the sort of buying clout that makes your travel budget
price-sensitive without compromising on either service or schedule. Big gets
the job done when and where you want it and it sees that the details, no
matter how small, are attended to. Big spans the globe to partner with top
luxury hotels and the finest international and domestic carriers so
significant values are passes on to you, the client. And big means personal,
customer driven accountability. Our travel professionals work with their
clients to optimize all aspects of their corporate travel needs. So, big
responds globally, but focuses on the particulars. That's good for you no
matter how exclusive the travel need is, and good for your business because
when we negotiate you benefit.
Maintaining Excellence
Companies have an image and style as unique as anything in the natural
world. That corporate identity is what distinguishes them from their
competition. It permits them to excel in what they do and helps them
challenge the future. The way a company meets the world, how their
associates and customers travel and conference together is a measurable
extension of everything they do to market their products and services.
That's because achieving and maintaining a standard is living and promoting
that standard. It's consistency, it's solid, it's the structure and
handprint of the organization.
Kintetsu International's true strength is our reflection of that image in
all we do. Every service professional in every office can link their clients
in real time to resources the world over. The prices we negotiate with our
hotel and airline partners let you benefit from superior service and
accommodations while you comfortably control any budget constraints. That's
a standard that both you associates and customers will applaud.
You'll also appreciate Kintetsu's "Client Preferences" reservation system.
It's no just a display of flight schedules, it's a sophisticated database
that stores your corporate frequent flyer numbers, rental car and hotel
membership ID#'s and responds and provides for personal choice. It ensures
you arrive and depart from your favorite airports, gets you assigned seats
according to preference on the airline carriers of your choice and sees that
the limousine service is there to pick you up. It's like having a personal
valet calling ahead to make certain the hotel has the damask sheets and
martini stirred not shaken.
Accommodating Special Needs
Narrowing one's choices or discovering that perfect meeting location can be
a daunting and time-consuming feat. Technology can put the world at your
fingertips. Type in a Keyword, let's say, "Japan" or "Ireland" and hit the
search button. Suddenly a page of references pops up and you see over
500,000 separate headings to start an online research project. It's pretty
obvious by the time the search is over interest rates may rise or fall a few
points, a new boss may be in the corner office, and most likely the seasons
have changed.
Don't let the pitfalls of being your own travel agent waste precious time,
call Kintetsu. Our vast international service network along with our highly
skilled, dedicated staff of travel professionals is there for you. Our
travel experts have an average of 7-8 years of comprehensive experience, and
our service is available 24 hours a day. Kintetsu's consultants are
regularly briefed and trained on the most up-to-date travel systems and
these upgrades guarantee you not only VIP care but expertise in all facets
of travel from air, hotels, and rental cars to rail passes, fly/drive tours,
and cruises.
We'll build your personal corporate profile and factor in the sort of
variables that make your company's preferences unique. These are the
specifics that distinguish the experience and ensure success for any voyage
or event. So instead of a lifetime of scrolling through minutia, you'll
review a concise recommended itinerary or a manageable conference schedule
were all the details are understood and accounted for.

coordinating travel, expect optimum results. Kintetsu's global reach offers
clients better, personalized service, greater value and a wide range of
choice. Our seasoned travel consultants are trained to deliver expectations

Kintetsu is the best travel agency I have ever worked with in my entire
career. The consultants there are diligent about checking for the best price
for my itinerary and with the way budgets are these days, that's very much
appreciated. They really go outside customary servicing. In fact, when i
recently went to Brazil for a trade show, I was amazed at the service my
travel consultant, gave me. He arranged for my visa with the Brazilian
consulate and even personally delivered the visa to me. Just today he
phoned my offices to make sure that the travel went smoothly for another
recent business trip.. I gladly recommend Kintetsu to my friends and
business associates.

I have been working at Casio for 20 years and making airline reservations
through Kintetsu for a big part of that time. Of course, the manner of
communicating has changed over time...
From just telephoning to faxing and now e-mailing. No matter which method I
use, Kintetsu always responds promptly to my requests.
I make reservations for several different people at Casio, including the
president, and it can get confusing as to who is going where and when. That
is why I really enjoy working with my travel consultant. She listens to what
my requests and needs are. She is always checking for a better airfare, a
better route and a reasonable hotel rate. I never hesitate to give her a
call if a change has to be made. She always tries to accommodate me. Plus,
she is always pleasant and cheerful even in the most hectic of times, always
managing to sort things out and get everyone off to their correct
destinations.
By using Kintetsu for travel arrangements, it makes my job easier. It's one
less thing I have to worry about.
