While many business travelers know of and often refer to their company’s travel policy, there’s still a gap between policy awareness and policy compliance, according to a recent BCD Travel survey of 1,200+ business travelers worldwide. The survey looked at changes in travel policies and traveler satisfaction with current regulations.

According to BCD Travel’s Cities & Trends 2023 Asia Pacific Report, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok are the most visited cities in the region by APAC business travelers. The intercontinental list is led by Frankfurt, London and Amsterdam. The report is based on BCD flight and rail data from 2023 in a range of APAC markets.

Leading global travel management company BCD Travel’s recent study explores modern corporate travel policies and changes happening due to shifting priorities and trends. The results are based on an online survey from April 2024 of more than 200 travel buyers worldwide. The top three travel program priorities include duty of care, policy compliance and cost control. All three ranked highly in 2023 and have since gained importance. However, the ratings of other priorities went slightly down. Traveler satisfaction dropped in importance as one of the top priorities from 2021 to 2023 to fourth in 2024. Similarly, payment and expense were assessed lower than a year ago.

Leading travel management company BCD Travel and its consulting practice Advito are proud to announce that they have been recognized with multiple awards at the 2024 BTN Sustainability Summit Americas and Europe, underscoring their leadership and innovation in sustainability within the travel industry.

According to BCD Travel’s Cities & Trends Europe 2023 edition, Amsterdam and New York are the most visited cities for European business travelers. The most popular countries are Germany and the United States. The report is based on BCD flight and car rental data in 2023 in a range of European markets.

BCD Travel recently surveyed more than 900 business travelers in North America and Europe who rented a car at least once last year. The survey looked at traveler behavior and satisfaction as well as trends in car rental for business travel. According to the survey, most business travelers rent a car to visit their company’s office, meet with clients or provide onsite service.

To support companies in their quest for sustainable business travel, BCD Travel China, GSTC and Colorful Earth have entered a partnership for 2024. In a collaborative effort, the partners are set to unveil the "Sustainable Business Travel Strategy Guide" along with a suite of training programs targeted at corporate clients, their travel managers and sustainability professionals.

For the seventh consecutive year and eleventh time total, BCD Travel was recognized as the Most Admired Travel Management Company (TMC) by the BTN Group. The announcement was made at the 16th annual The Beat Live on Dec. 5 in New York City. The Beat, a widely read business travel newsletter and website published by the BTN Group, asks readers each year to name their most admired technology company, travel management company, airline, payment company, lodging brand and car rental brand.
