Tip Sheet #19: How to
Plan and Coordinate International Business Travel Arrangements -- Tips for
Administrative Professionals Supporting Globe-trotting Executives, Managers,
and Other Staff
In this publication, you'll
learn where to start when it comes to planning international travel,
including tips for choosing international accommodations, choosing flights
and ground transportation, scheduling meetings and appointments, reviewing
needed travel documents, and more. This tip sheet is written from the U.S.
perspective – since that's where The Effective Admin is based -- but
contains useful tips for administrative professionals based anywhere who are
planning and coordinating travel globally for those they support. In
addition, consider that you might be helping to plan incoming travel for
guests visiting your company from abroad too – not just trips for traveling
staff you support going to another country.
"I purchased Tip Sheet #19 back in February 2009 and only now had
time to read it. I am so impressed with the thoroughness of the information.
I teach a travel class at the University of California Santa Cruz Extension
to administrators. I have always received high marks in the feedback I
receive on my class, but your information will either serve to reinforce
what I’m already teaching or to add additional depth"
Thank you,

If you currently coordinate
global travel in your company, you'll find this to be a refresher "course"
full of tips and links to useful resources. If you're new to planning global
travel, this publication has all the information you need to know where to
start in doing this task. If you are an administrative professional who is
not doing this task currently, consider learning it. Why? There are many
reasons. For one consider, that this is a skill that can put you in
consideration for higher paying, higher level administrative professional
jobs. Without this knowledge, you may never be considered for a job
supporting an executive or staff who travel globally. Learn it before you
need it! "When you need it" is too late to start learning it and still
appear to be a top performing administrative professional. Fast moving,
globe-trotting executives don't want to "test you out" on their global
travel plans and don't have the time to train you.
