Companies to Travel as Much or More than Last Year

Travel agents are expecting businesses to travel as much or more than last year, and companies will be looking for savings during their trips.

These are some of the findings released by Travel Leaders Group, based on the its annual Travel Trends Survey of its members and agents.

Nearly 80 percent of the Group’s business-focused travel agents are forecasting that clients will be
traveling as much or more than last year — with fewer than 10 percent of those polled saying their clients will be traveling less.

Even with looming tax increases and government spending cuts, more than 77 percent of the travel agents polled said they were optimistic about their business while another 18 percent stated they were neutral about prospects in the coming year. Salt Lake Tribune
