Eurostar reports strong business travel bounce-back
High-speed rail service Eurostar reported a strong business travel comeback in the first half of 2022.
Recovery of business travel between London and Paris has been fastest amongst French and US companies according to Eurostar data.
With 75% of the pre-pandemic timetable now running, Eurostar business travel has returned to 70% of 2019 levels.
Managed corporate accounts have increased by 40% between 2019 and 2022.
New research commissioned by Eurostar says corporate confidence is growing with 78% of travellers surveyed expecting to travel more or the same for business between the UK and Europe than they did in 201.9
It says fears are unfounded that the new hybrid or home working would signal an end to regular business travel.
Chief Commercial Officer, Francois Le Doze, said: “Business travel has resumed faster than we expected in 2022, especially considering that we are only running around three-quarters of our pre pandemic timetable.”
From September, Eurostar has announced the addition of a fourth return service on its London to Amsterdam route.
