Business travel poised to bounce back
WTM 2004 Special: Business travel out of Europe is set to grow next year after a stagnant period in 2004.
Based on the first eight months of the year, the number of business trips in 2004 is expected to rise just one per cent from the 2003 figure of 48 million. However, an online poll of 450 business travellers found the prospects for the future are improving.
The Corporate Air Travel Survey was conducted in August 2004 by aviation analysts Airclaims in co-operation with several international airlines. According to the survey, unveiled in the World Travel Market Global
Travel Report 2004-05, some 34 per cent of business travellers were planning to take more flights over the next 12 months. In November 2003, only 26 per cent said they would take more flights.
Only 5 per cent of business travellers polled claimed they would take less flights, compared with 11 per cent in November 2003.
