Below are a few current trends travel planners can use to keep their clients and team members happy and motivated.

1. Business Travelers are all ages.

Business Travelers are both seasoned executives and upcoming Millennials so when choosing a venue or meeting space, keep in mind that every attendee wants an interactive experience.

2. Integrate cultural authenticity.

Business Travelers will appreciate a genuine travel and meeting experience. One of the best ways to do this is to highlight the destinations’ culture by finding the right hotel!

3. Fitness and wellness.

As fitness becomes more and more important, hotels and resorts are dedicating much of their efforts to accommodating multiple exercise options for their guests. Choosing a hotel like this will be greatly valued by those who remain dedicated to a healthy lifestyle, even on business trips.
