Corporate travel, on the other hand, continues to lag, but that's a function of the economy and companies that will err on the side of fiscal conservatism for a while.

Virtuoso Travel Network sees travel market comeback

Jan 26th, 2010 at 3:00PM: Having to pay for internet access in hotels is nothing more than moronic. If the revenue is such a big deal, hotels should just slap the $9.99 -- or whatever it is -- onto the room rate and tell us they're giving it away for nothing. But, nothing's worse than spending $250 a night and having to pay another fee to connect to the web, which you're going to have to do even if you're on vacation, let ...A gloomy travel market for 2010 will follow an ugly 2009
Dec 29th, 2009 at 3:00PM: Everybody seems to want the travel market to recover next year, but it looks like more time will be spent in yards, instead.

Images of tedious data entry are conjured, which does nothing for your state of mind while on the road. Yet, these words can be joined, and the resulting concept can be a gold mine for any company with legions of road warriors. Every employee ...Seven trends that will change business travel

Obviously, the recession is changing the travel business. You've heard it all before – and if you've flow or stayed in a hotel lately, you've undoubtedly seen it. Sometimes, the big issue of the day can mask others that will be important down the road. Travel ...Corporate travel off 15%: ouch!
Aug 1st, 2009 at 2:00PM: This sucks: corporate travel is expected to fall 15 percent this year. As much as you like to think you're doing your part by buying a heavily discounted ticket and going on vacation, the individual traveler's contribution to the industry pales when compared to that of the corporate road warrior. If the airline industry is going to recover, it will come on the backs – and corporate cards ...
