Deloitte Survey Predicts Increase in Business Travel in 2012
Business travel, which has been driving a recovery in the hotel business, should take off next year, according to a new Deloitte survey. Part of the surge is due to Millennials and Generation X professionals who expect to hit the road more next year.
Eighty-five percent of business travelers surveyed expect to take more or the same number of trips next year, with 27 percent of 18- to 44-year-olds expecting to take more trips in 2012, while only 16 percent of business travelers 45 years old and above are planning to take more trips next year.
