Results:
Ø Eighty-six percent found business travel as difficult or more so than it was two years ago.
Ø Eighty percent now book business travel online with nearly 70 percent saying they’ve had positive experiences.
Ø Along with flight delays and cancellations, security lines and carry-on restrictions are the top complaints.
Ø Most US corporate travelers conduct their business travel primarily within North America (93 percent).
Ø Twelve percent plan to travel to China or India, two rapidly growing international markets, for business purposes in the next year.
