Travel Agencies

Travel Policy

The State of Wisconsin currently has two travel contracts:

For Athletic Travel Booking

For Booking Online Airfare

Travelport is the contract vendor for online booking of airfare. Travelers may use the travel agency of their choice when online purchases are unsuitable. We encourage the use of the Wisconsin Certified Minority Enterprise travel agents, a list of which is found at http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/purch/mbetravellist.html. 

Note:  Orbitz is listed in The Certification for Collection of Sales and Use Tax Ineligible Vendor Directory. Because they are not in compliance with State of Wisconsin sales tax collection requirements, Orbitz should not be used for booking travel when payment or reimbursement will be made from University administered funds.
