"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.
