\"What<\/a>The GBTA Business Travel Sentiment Index, <\/strong>a survey conducted in\u00a0partnership with RoomIt by CWT, recently revealed the sentiments of\u00a0consistent business travelers<\/a>\u00a0across the globe. Despite the economic challenges faced in some parts of the world, the outlook of business travelers remains positive. The travel experience has the most significant impact on response. Sentiment surrounding trip experiences improved slightly over last quarter overall, growing 0.4 points. For U.S. business travelers, growth was highest, rising 5.7 points.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Impacting Perceptions of the Travel Experience?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Flights were, unsurprisingly, a leading factor in traveler experience, with 54% of travelers experience a mishap while away on travel over the past year. Delayed flights affected 52% of travelers, and 40% experienced a canceled flight. Despite these obstacles and their already action-packed schedules, however, business travelers say they would travel more frequently if given the option, with the vast majority (86%) happy with their overall experience. This seems to be primarily driven by the hotel experience, with traveler satisfaction linked to staying at conveniently located hotels, booking arrangements, the check-in\/out process, and payment for travel arrangements.<\/p>\n
