Business travelers are taking fewer international trips and spending less time when they do go, according to the 2005 National Business Travel Monitor study.
However, 42% of those taking part in the survey said they planned more business trips this year. Only 24% said they would travel less.
How did the travelers come out in their preference for smaller or larger hotels?
Small is better. Seventy-four percent said they preferred small hotels of less than 300 rooms.
More survey participants this year than in 2004 said they would be interested in non-chain hotels, 14% versus 10% last year.
And is hotel quality improving? No.
When asked that question, only 51% said yes, down from 58% last year.
