Great news! Looks as though business travelers appear to be returning to the front of the airplane, a sign that companies may be feeling more optimistic about the economy, American Express Business Travel said earlier this month.
The results of the company’s most recent Business Travel Monitor survey indicated that airfares rose modestly during the last quarter while international travel on business class fares rose 1 percent.
“This is an encouraging sign for the business travel industry because it indicates increasing demand, as well as willingness to pay for premium products, which help with supplier profitability and their ability to provide consumer discounts,” said Christa Degnan Manning, director, eXpert insights, Global Advisory Services, American Express Business Travel.
It’s also great news for corporate housing professionals! Here at The Corporate Housing Network we’re planning for a prosperous new year, and it looks as though many of our colleagues are doing the same!. Hope you are all enjoying the holidays and looking forward to the year — and decade — ahead!
