The 2022 trends on Business Travel

The beginning of the year is the best time to establish 2022 trends that will affect business travel. And this is important for meeting and event planners, who in recent times have seen their role affected by multiple situations.

Business travel opportunities

Although the travel sector has been affected by the pandemic, it is true that business travel has been to a lesser extent. Business has continued to take place, and therefore also face-to-face meetings. Business travel remains an essential activity among the world’s workforce, whose appetite for travel has been undiminished by Covid-19.

And all this taking into account the new way of working. We have witnessed a change in dynamics, 2022 trends, favoring remote work in almost all sectors. And this, instead of decreasing the meetings, has made them more effective. Companies now study more carefully the need for these to occur.

Besides, remote working extends opportunities for business travel, and the rise of remote work will spur meaningful business travel, as people continue to connect for client meetings and, increasingly, for regular get-togethers among co-workers.

Corporate responsibility and 2022 trends

Until the pandemic came to stay for a while, business travel was taken as something common. Its usefulness was not questioned, and business meetings occurred without wondering if an online meeting could solve the problem. Nowadays, having become accustomed to working remotely, the value of the meetings for which we travel is much greater. And also from the corporate point of view, costs are more studied, as well as sustainability data.

The well-being of the business traveler is taken into account, to avoid burnout, so it is a win-win. It seeks to improve the conditions of employees, so that travel is safe and efficient, avoiding having to travel when there is no need.

The increasing necessity for an all-in-one platform

But above all what this period of crisis has taught us is that we need new tools, new technologies to be more and more efficient. Meeting planners face increasingly complicated scenarios, in which they have to take into account multiple variables in order to organize trips. And in a context where costs and time are scrutinized, efficiency takes on a new meaning.

There is a real need for a platform that offers all the relevant data so that business planners can carry out their work in the most comfortable and efficient way possible.

But is there any such tool on the market?

One app, all the data

The application that we have developed at TROOP allows users to have all the relevant data in one place when organizing a meeting. And this includes environmental impact, offering carbon footprint and sustainability data; flight and accommodation prices, as well as total travel times.

At TROOP we want to make users free so that they can make informed decisions, and thus meet their objectives, whether they are cost savings, minimize the impact that meetings have on the environment, or the speed in achieving the meetings.

Besides, TROOP offers users a covid map where meeting planners can check all the restrictions required, as well as the documentation needed

We know that events and travel planning need to take all kinds of risks into account, and at TROOP we provide the means to not only mitigate those risks, but also minimize the possibility of any negative consequences, whether in time, cost, travel restrictions or any COVID-related aspects.
