CWT thumbs-up for business travel

Six in ten travellers feel more creative and productive when travelling for business, according to new research by the Business-to-Business-for-Employees (B2B4E) travel management platform CWT.

Millennial travellers follow the same pattern of thought when away for work the report says. Those in the Americas lead the way (77% feeling more creative and productive).

They are followed closely by those in Asia Pacific (75% feeling more creative, 73% more productive) while European millennials rank third (58% and 57%), the study reveals.

CWT executive vice-president and chief traveller experience officer Niklas Andréen said: “We are in a business that helps bring out the best in people. Travel energises people, fosters fresh thinking, creates connections – and nothing beats a face-to-face meeting.”

Overall, travellers from Asia Pacific say they are more likely to have increased creativity (65%) and productivity (64%) compared to those from the Americas (58% and 60% respectively) and Europe (53% and 51%).

CWT’s research also shows six in ten travellers are most productive when working face-to-face and collaborating with colleagues as opposed to working alone (30%) or remotely (14%).

Asia Pacific travellers’ productivity benefits the most from working face-to-face – 61%, versus 53% for travellers from the Americas and Europe.
