THE OLYMPICS GAMES ARE ALMOST HERE - ARE YOU PREPARED?

With the busy travel season upon us, the Olympic Games next month in London, England, and people generally ready to enjoy the summer holidays, most experts believe preparation is the key to avoid stress associated with travel. 

For the busy business person, minimize business travel disruptions during the Olympics by reviewing your travel needs during that period.  Here are some tips to avoid these during that period:

- If you must be in London, consider accommodation with an hour’s rail journey to London.  This will allow you to get to a meeting during the day and avoid staying at over-priced hotels in the City.

- Speak to your travel agent about hotels offering business travellers any specials during that time.

- There will be an increased demand for seats on flights to London, so book early if you have to be there.

- If you are in London, allow yourself plenty of time between appointments, as London will be a difficult city to move around during the Games.
