Who we are

Travel support that takes the work off your team.

Timeline Travel is a Destination Management Company that businesses contract to handle the non-core work of travel. As more companies outsource work outside their core operations, many now hand their travel to us, from accommodation bookings to meetings, incentives and conferences, so their people can concentrate on their own roles.

We work to deliver savings, efficiency and safety to businesses and travellers, wherever in the world they are heading.

  • Non-core travel work outsourced to specialists
  • Meetings, incentives and conferences managed for you
  • Savings, efficiency and safety for every traveller
