Corporate travel management company, BCD Travel, says business travel for meetings incentives conferences exhibitions is now twice the level of this time last year due to greater confidence in the business world.
Demand for business travel and bookings of meetings incentives conferences exhibitions was lower than usual in 2009 due to the fall-out of the global financial crisis, said BCD Travel Head of Sales & Client Services, Stephen Finlay.
However, it seems a significant turn-around in 2010 is already underway with twice as many clients requesting assistance with corporate travel bookings and the planning and execution of meetings incentives conferences exhibitions in the first quarter, he said.
The surge in demand reflects predictions in BCD Travel’s 2010 Global Industry Forecast Paper.
