The austere traveller: The effect of corporate cutbacks on hotels is an Economist Intelligence Unit executive summary, sponsored by Amadeus

The Economist Intelligence Unit surveyed 354 executives worldwide in November and December 2008 to obtain their views on how the global economic downturn will feed into corporate travel plans,with particular focus on the impact on the hotel sector. All of the executives surveyed travel at least once a quarter for business, with 37% travelling more than once a month and 7% travelling weekly. Forty-four percent of the executives in this survey were C-Level/board level, with the remaining senior executives and other managers. Geographically, respondents were split as follows: North America 29%,Europe 29%, Asia-Pacific 29% and Rest of the World 13%.

Amadeus and the Economist Intelligence Unit jointly developed the survey. The Economist Intelligence Unit was responsible for writing and editing the executive summary. Our thanks are due to the survey respondents for their time and insights.
