Business travelers’ problems.

Nowadays travel is a very important part of our life. Airline industry allows us to cover a distance of thousands of kilometers in a few hours. Besides we can travel not only by air, but also by rail, road, see. There is a wide range of ways to travel. But we should remember that the travel may be different. We can travel on pleasure or we can travel on business.

And if we travel on business we can face a lot of problems. For example: poor quality food and drink, long queues at check-in, not enough leg-room, jet-leg and many another. I think for business people the worse problem is flight delays and cancellation. If you travel on business you may have an important meeting or negotiations in a strictly scheduled time. And if you miss them your company can lose an important contract, for example. Besides, problems can wait for us outside the airport. For example, parking lot may be flooded and you have no opportunity to take a taxi.

Moreover, every traveler must know basic information about the destination country. It’s very important because in different countries there are different traditions, special cultural aspects, and rules, including legislation. In this case any ignorance of the rules of this country can be the cause of loss of business relationships and serious consequences such as punishment, prison or even the death penalty. So, knowledge of country’s laws, traditions and rules is vital for any business traveler.

In hotels you can face with problems too. Not always your company will pay for you a luxurious hotel with beautiful bedrooms, soft towels and huge bed.

And as a matter of fact, I think it’s normal situation when you face problems. If you’re a business person you should be patient. It’s important to be able to work at the airport. It’s a sort of an extension of your office when you’re travelling a lot.

The needs of business traveler are quite different from the ordinary tourist. For ordinary tourist arrangement of flight, hotel and resort are part of fun. They want to spend time choosing them. But the business traveler wants speed and efficiency.

The first thing is the need for a good organization: for someone to organize everything for you – tickets, transport to and from the airport, accommodation. It can be provided by a secretary or a tourist company. Nowadays there are businesses specializing in corporate travel. That includes booking flights and hotels, planning and arranging itineraries, advising on locations, providing VIP services, arranging visas and so on. In fact, they offer a complete package for the business traveler so that he or she can concentrate on business while the agency look after the travel.

The second thing is a balance of cost and price. On a short-haul flight cost is the main factor – looking for a cheaper ticket. But travelling to another continent it’s important to look more at comfort factor: lots of leg-rooms, reclining seats and ability to sleep on board.

And finally, the third priority and a big adventure is to be patient because there’re often delays and it’s important to be able to work in the airport. It’s a sort of an extension of your office when you’re travelling a lot.

To cut a long story short, business travelers’ priorities are very important factor and their implementation will lead to positive results.
