Online booking empowers business travellers

The growth in the online travel market is encouraging staff to organise their own business travel, rather than have to turn to a PA for assistance.

Research by Visa Europe found that over 50% of employees are now organising their own travel and 48% of companies said that more staff are involved in purchasing travel services than previously.

Over two thirds of companies said they favour online travel booking as it is easier to shop around for the best deals and save money in the process.
