“I do travel for work, and while it’s currently better than it was two years ago, it’s nowhere near the peak. The amount companies spend on travel has been reduced; it used to automatically be business class.”

“I think business trips are staying pretty stagnant at the moment. Businesses are spending on technology that allows meetings without the need for travel – firms won’t pay for flights without a real return on the investment.”
ANTOUN MASSAAD | CEDAR ROSE
“I’m actually on a business trip at the moment. But I think companies are still very conscious about the cost of travel, and people are using things like teleconferences a lot more. There are fewer people at international conferences too.”
