  • 10 Business Travel Trends for 2019
    10 BUSINESS TRAVEL TRENDS FOR 2019 Presented by + 10 Business Travel Trends for 2019 SKIFT REPORT 2018 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is a time of dynamic change in corporate travel. In 2019, the industry appears poised for continuing growth and expansion worldwide. Influential factors include a general climate of optimism and economic stability, a robust international meetings sector, and increasing non-stop flight options. More people are venturing around the globe in pursuit of commercial ambitions than ever before. Within this expanding business travel sphere, a spirited new road warrior class is emerging. Eager, even impatient, to book their next trip, they are helping create a new mindset and attitude about the value of the corporate travel experience. And emboldened by today’s consumer travel tools and technologies, they are assertively challenging the status quo, both in terms of trip planning and itinerary management. They are even helping to shift the standard corporate rules related to human resources, impacting everything from recruiting and retention to overall job satisfaction and sense of purpose. Who is this new breed of corporate traveler? What is driving their quest for independence? And how are corporate travel managers and travel suppliers responding? There are a number of overarching themes that are likely to impact the decision making of these stakeholders in the coming year. First, employee perception of business travel is dramatically shifting. For younger generations especially, the opportunity to travel for work is a job prerequisite. Once hired, they want to travel as much as possible, both for personal empowerment and advancement, and in order to best support the company’s objectives.
