Why the Travel Authority?
On August 26, 2006, Xavier University's Office of Auxiliary Services announced its new business partnership with The Travel Authority to serve as our travel management company for Xavier University Travel Services. Effective immediately, The Travel Authority (TTA) has officially been named the exclusive travel management company for all of Xavier University's travel needs.
Xavier University expects many benefits from this partnership, including:
- Reduction of overall travel related expenses
- Improved quality of service through TTA's full service agency and self-booking option
- Improved access to business programs with airlines, hotels and car rental companies
- Voyager on-line booking ($8 per transaction)
- Full service agent-assisted reservations (Domestic = $30 per transaction, International = $50 per transaction)
The Travel Authority will gladly offer training to your department for booking travel reservations. Please contact Anne Schultz at 513 841-5498 to set up group or individual training.
Our Finance and Accounting office has set up this program so that The Travel Authority will chargeback your account via your FOAP#. Therefore, your Travel Authority charges will be posted directly to your account and can be viewed through Banner upon completion.
Your direct contact at the Travel Authority for any questions is Anne Schultz. She can be reached at anne.schultz@thetravelauthority.com or by phone at 513 841-4598.
In order to utilize Voyager, each staff member must register with the on-line booking tool at least 24 hours prior to attending the training session or usage of Voyager. View instructions on how to register to be a member.
