Information on this study:

This research was conducted in collaboration with the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) which provided input into the survey instruments, reviewed, and endorsed the content of the report. The first survey addressed a niche segment, targeting a sample size of nearly 100 travel managers from medium to large companies across the globe. The objective of this survey was to understand how traveler well-being is managed in their companies. The second survey, with a sample size of close to 900 respondents, focused on understanding business travelers’ attitudes towards travel, stress and productivity. Based on those two surveys this report outlines a variety of recommendations for corporations, travel management companies, travel managers and human resources teams to consider.
