Who we are
Business Travel Purchase Consulting has deep experience in corporate travel and mobility procurement. We launched our consultancy to provide exactly the support, tools and processes we wished we had access to when we were travel managers. We've been active in Switzerland since 2016 and have fulfilled a number of projects for corporates and NGOs successfully.
