AirPlus International Releases Its Fifth Annual Travel Management Study
ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AirPlus International, Inc. today releases its fifth annual Travel Management Study, a comprehensive and global study which surveys 1,500 travel managers in total from 15 countries. This year’s study highlights the worldwide importance of cost-cutting measures in travel programs across the board with more respondents expecting the number of trips to fall for the first time in the Study’s history. Furthermore, the attitudes and heightened importance of today’s travel manager are explored and evaluated. Travel managers want more time, flexibility and a heightened status as their role’s importance for finding cost savings increases. Download a complimentary copy of the study at www.airplus.com.
“This year’s AirPlus International Travel Management Study, is an important annual industry benchmark that sheds light on the impact of today’s demanding economic conditions on trends. All sectors of the travel business are impacted and the survey results show a dramatic decline in expected growth and attitude year-over-year,” said Richard Crum, President of AirPlus International, Inc. “At AirPlus, our strength is in helping travel managers use their data to realize cost-savings in their travel.”
More than half (58%) of the global study respondents expect their travel policies to become more restrictive and even more of them (70%) are implementing stricter policies to enforce it. Expectations for meetings are also on the decline and the expectation for trips overall has one-third of those surveyed expecting a decrease.
