21st Century Fox is moving its travel program into the
virtual world. The media conglomerate selected a virtual payment product for
hotel direct billing in 2015. The company just started implementing the tool in
July 2017. It also has been automating the central billing accounts for its
air, hotel and car programs. Travelers use Sabre's GetThere tool in the U.S.
and Concur in Europe except the U.K. and in parts of Latin America. And the
company implemented an online booking tool for its sports production division
in 2016. In 2016, 84 percent of 21st Century Fox's air volume went through that
tool. In 2017, the company renegotiated its airlines deals with its primary
airline. Also in 2017, the company embarked upon a duty of care project and is
deploying International SOS traveler tracking globally. Included with that, it
is globalizing its travel program with its travel agency, HRG, and its
preferred airlines, hotels and car rental companies. It expects to complete
this by the end of 2018.
