Good corporate travel planning includes avoiding business travel during major recreational events or booking early if you must undertake corporate travel at these times. A great example is the upcoming State of Origin series – three mid-week events in May, June and July that are easy to forget about if you don’t follow the footy.
The bulk of corporate travel in Australia occurs during the week so midweek events can be particularly problematic for business travellers requiring corporate travel flights and accommodation for meetings incentives conferences exhibitions during the working week.
Die-hard sports fans are already booking early for the second and third State of Origin games so expect fewer seats to be available on flights into Brisbane on or around Wednesday, June 16 and on or around Wednesday, July 7 for the final match in Sydney.
