NGO travel has unusual requirements: field routing, per-diem-aware bookings, lowest-logical-fare rules, funder policies, batch visa handling, security-aware routing and grant-coded reporting. A generalist agency can book a ticket. A specialist TMC delivers travel that stands up to donor audit and doesn't strand a field team when a border closes.
