Business Travel Season Begins!

September 8 2011 by Chris McGinnis

Ahh September, the traditional kick-off to peak business travel season. Road warriors everywhere can now reclaim their space at airports, on planes, on freeways and at hotels. But given recent fluctuations in financial markets and economic uncertainty . . . what is it going to be like out there over the next 4-6 months? Are travelers cutting back? Are fares and rates rising or falling?

At the recent Global Business Travel Association convention in Denver, I snagged interviews with some of the most important executives in attendance--- from the likes of American Express, British Airways, Southwest Airlines, and even Dorothy Dowling, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Best Western International.

I asked them about their outlook for the fall business travel season.... click on the video above to hear (and see) their answers.

We've heard from the experts, but what's your outlook? Do you plan on traveling more, less or about the same amount this fall compared to last fall? Has the recent roller coaster ride in financial markets clipped your wings at all? Please take a peek at the 3-minute video, and leave your comments below.
