New research shows that European business travelers, in particular, think that online travel agencies offer the best blend of choice and savings, even if they are supposed to use an online booking tool.
Maybe this shows a lack of proper education undertaken by companies, or just the reality that travelers want to book in the most convenient way they can, which usually tends to be how they book leisure travel. Check out the story below.
We also take a deep look this week at the growing hospitality company Selina, which has a fascinating take on solving many of the issues that frustrate young business travelers. The company operates hybrid hotel/hostel/co-working properties, often with many different branches across a variety of North and South American countries. It's an interesting model that speaks to how young, mobile professionals want to live and work today. It will be fascinating to watch whether its experimental ideas catch on among global hospitality companies as well.
