Meg Tompkins

Assistant Team Leader

What's a quick insider tip for business travelers coming to Houston for the first time? 

Don’t underestimate the size of the city – the greater Houston area is larger than some states. There is so much the city has to offer and so many different areas to check out, but don’t be surprised if it takes you hours to get from one side to the other (especially during rush hour).

What’s a little-known advantage of working with a travel management company in Houston?

I think the best advantage is the diversity in our clients. Because Houston is such a diverse city and a hub city – the companies we work with are from all sorts of industries and have travelers going to all corners of the world. It gives us so much experience in a wide range of travel needs and we genuinely love the variety of requests that creates.  

Can you describe a moment when your travel expertise saved a client time, money, or major stress?

When I’m asked this question, it’s often hard to answer – mostly because saving clients time, money, and major stress is such a daily part of my job. However, I can easily say my favorite part of my job is when I’m able to save a traveler major stress and/or help make memorable moments with the important people in their lives. Times like when I had a client who was trying to work a big business trip around her sister’s wedding and I was able to save her time and save her company money by changing the routing; or when a major storm hit and I needed to re-route someone to make sure he got home from his business trip to make it to his child’s kindergarten graduation; or when I found an alternative airport to fly out of so a client could get back to his 38 week pregnant wife sooner; or even when a different traveler of mine got out of a business meeting early and I was able to get him home early to surprise his family. Both travel and work can be stressful, but when I’m able to elevate that stress to help my travelers get what they need to get done for work but then get them back to the people that mean the most to them is what brings me joy and purpose in my role.

How the Houston Rockets handled last-minute travel changes with a trusted team

"I think when we found out we were going to be working with an outside vendor for our travel needs, I expected a training session on how to log on with a portal or how to book things - things that weren't that much different than what we would have done on our own. But what we've found is we have an extension of our own company which feels like a colleague, and a coworker and a partner in Corporate Traveler."

- Gretchen Scheirr, President of Business Operations, Houston Rockets

"I’ve been an EA for 10+ years and dealt with many travel agencies during that time. Corporate Traveler is a shining star. I worked at a small med device startup, used them and we were treated with white-glove, personalized service with dedicated travel agents.
