At one time there was a feeling that, in an age where virtually everything is connected and platforms such as Skype and Facetime make video conferencing easily accessible, traveling for business would no longer be necessary. However, according to Globetouch (http://dtn.fm/rsN9l), the Asia-Pacific region doubled its business travel output between 2005 and 2015, with these numbers expected to grow further during the coming years.
This has been attributed, in part, to the fact that more people are learning how to combine business travel with leisure, encouraging many to look upon business travel as a positive. According to ‘Predictions: The 8 Hot Travel Trends In 2017’ (http://dtn.fm/6Igkt), a WIT article, “30% of travelers said they would accept a lower paid job if it meant they could travel more for work.” It also states that “Of the 40% of global travelers who journeyed for business this year, 46% would travel even more for business in 2017.”
Businessmen and women are realizing that it is possible to combine work and pleasure, and opting to travel more for work makes the leisure opportunities more affordable. With many business travelers today being millennials, they expect a seamless travel experience, where they can see to their business affairs while incorporating some rest and relaxation into their trips. With the help of technology, this has been made possible.
