The Global Business Travel Association is predicting that a hurricane with the strength and breath of Sandy and a peak duration of 1-2 days could cost the travel industry $606 million in lost revenue and about 514,000 trips.
The report also predicts that interrupted business trips could result in a total GDP loss of about $675 million. Potential lost federal, state and local tax revenues could cost $176 million. The eleven East Coast states in the path of the scenario storm could suffer an average business travel spending loss as high as $58 million per day.
