Business Travel still growing

A new survey claims that business travel is still growing despite of fears of a credit crisis. According to research released from the Barclaycard Business Travel Survey 44% of business travellers travelled more in 2007 than they did in 2006.

Plus a third of all business travellers plan to travel more again in 2008 than they did in 2007. The results show that business expansion is the main reason for further travelling, whether that be business expansion in the UK or overseas expansion.

Business travel is increasing but more and more business travellers are tightening their belts and flying economy class. With more and more European expansion, and the rise of cheap flights, means that some companies just cannot justify paying for the more traditional business carriers such as British Airways, when flights can be bought through Ryanair or Easyjet for 1p (plus taxes of course). In fact 55% of business travellers said they they would be more likely to fly economy class. 46% said they would be more likey to fly economy class the previous year.
