More than 90% of business travellers expect to travel the same or more for business this year, according to a new survey.
The survey of 2,400 frequent travellers is up almost 20% on last year’s figures – pointing to a pick up in the economy this year.
The poll was conducted by the Business Travel & Meetings Show, ahead of next month’s event at Earl’s Court.
The survey also found that online check-in has been voted the ‘innovation of the decade’ by business travellers.
This was followed closely by Wi-Fi, flat beds, notebooks and the Eurostar.
“The ‘noughties’ have been a hotbed of innovation when it comes to business travel,” said David Chapple, BTMS event director.
“Innovations in technology, infrastructure and services have all contributed to make it easier, more comfortable and more enjoyable than ever for professionals to both travel and do business effectively.”
Respondents listed a series of demands for future innovations which had the common theme of speed.
Travellers called for faster security, check in and immigration processes.
