Going rogue: Business travel group to revisit study that its members don't like
Photo Caption: Do business travelers watch their travel budgets more when there is a strict policy or when there isn't? That's the question.
Skift Take
Large corporations and big travel agencies are feeling the heat from road warrior 2.0. How often do you see the GBTA announce it's going re-study research it completed just a few months earlier? The cat may be out of the bag.
The Global Business Travel Association is planning to take a closer look at certain elements of a study it released in May partly because of concern that it gives the impression there's no savings in managing travel.
Based on a survey of 1,788 business travelers, the Global Business Traveler study found that while U.S. business travelers spend $2,740 on average per trip and stay 3.6 nights, "those under mandated programs spend more ($3,663) but stay a fewer number of nights (3.4), compared to those in unmanaged programs ($2,457, 3.9 nights)."
