Conference Planning
- 1. Application of Number Level 1
- 2. Introduction I was tasked with researching and choosing travel and accommodation arrangements for my managers 2 day business conference in London on the 30th and 31st January 2014. The first thing I had to do was make a plan, I then had to carry out a short survey between my work colleagues to find out which type of transport they prefer. I then had to research the top two methods of transport that my colleagues chose. Next I decided to research prices of three alternative accommodation choices. I also then had to calculate the distance from the hotel to the conference suite and decide whether a London Underground pass was required. These are my results. Application of Number Level 1
- 3. The Survey Survey results 6 5 Number of people 5 4 Car Train 3 Bike 2 Bus 2 1 1 0 0 Car Train Bike Method of transport The top two results were by car and by train. Application of Number Level 1 Bus
- 4. By Car I had to calculate the cost of fuel to get to the conference event. I went on Google maps to see how many miles it would be. I then went on a fuel cost calculator to calculate the cost of fuel. As seen in the screenshot on the right, one journey will cost £23.04, therefore two journeys will cost £46.08. Application of Number Level 1
- 5. By Train I had to find a train that would get to London in plenty of time for the conference. I used the Nation Rail Enquires service to find the most appropriate train for the journey there and back. Outward Inward Total For 2 Journeys = £200 Application of Number Level 1

- 10. Food and Drink The company has a policy of £100 per day for food and drink. This is a two day conference, therefore the total cost will be £200. Application of Number Level 1
- 11. Conclusion The decisions that I have made are to travel by car and to stay at the Ibis Excel hotel. I have made these decisions because they are the most cost effective. By using a car as the method of transport we saved £153.92 compared to travelling by train. By staying at the Ibis Excel hotel we saved £127.70 compared to the Aloft London Excel hotel and £187.70 compared to the Prince Regent Hotel. We also saved a further £64 by not requiring the two day London Underground pass. The £100 per day food allowance has also been included. Application of Number Level 1
