Business travel will increase in 2010 after stalling over the past 12 months, it has been claimed. Research from the National Business Travel Association highlighted that nearly 70 per cent of travel managers think more business-related journeys will be made in 2010, with over half thinking their travel budget will increase.According to travel agent network Advantage, larger firms are likely to continue making travel cutbacks but many small firms, who cannot survive without a degree of business travel, will increase their spend. But they will be much more cost conscious than in previous years. However, buyers predicted that they would be attempting to negotiate better discounts on hotel stays (70 per cent) and from airlines and car rental companies (30 per cent).
