Global business traveler report Nordics

As the level of business travel continues to return to more familiar territory, European business travelers are dissatisfied with the direction of their company’s travel plans. In fact, nearly 3 in 5 business travelers (59%) report their current travel frequency is not meeting their expectations.

In the wake of the pandemic that has reshaped attitudes about business travel, it is more important than ever for companies to find the appropriate level of travel for individuals. Nearly 1 in 6 European business travelers (15%) are traveling more than they want to (compared to 22% globally)—but 44% are traveling less than they prefer (compared to 39% globally).

Three-fourths of European business travelers (75%, compared to 82% globally) say a change in corporate travel direction is to blame, reporting their company is returning to pre-pandemic levels but with a “more travel on fewer shoulders” approach, utilizing a smaller group of travelers.
