More than half of German travel managers say the amount of
time required to carry out their work has increased due to the effects of the
corona pandemic.
The figure is revealed in the latest fortnightly barometer
from the German Business Travel Association (VDR).
The survey also revealed that 43.8 per cent of respondents
say they feel that more business trips are urgently needed. Some 88 per cent of
companies in the poll only allow business trips for essential reasons.
One in eight companies (12.7 per cent) said that they
believed the number of business trips in the future would be 30 to 50 per cent lower
than pre-pandemic.
