By Sarah Geegan July 1, 2015

LEXINGTON, Ky. July 1, 2015 — The University of Kentucky announced this week that AAA Corporate Travel Services and Avant Travel were selected to continue as UK’s designated travel vendors.

Through the request for proposal (RFP) process, lower travel agency service fees were negotiated, beginning July 1. UK operates a managed travel program primarily for the following three reasons:

To provide risk management tracking of UK travelers and to provide assistance to them while traveling
To provide cost savings, efficiencies and flexibility for UK travelers when arranging travel
To provide data to the university and Lexington’s Blue Grass Airport to allow for increased cost savings and improved services
