Long distance travel is now a routine part of many workers’ lives, yet what was once considered a perk of the job is now seen as a headache by frequent fliers. Business travel isn’t as exciting as it sounds. The reality for most travelers is that they rarely see anything beyond the airport, the office and the hotel. Even after a long overnight flight in a cramped seat without sleep, staff are frequently expected to be in the office the following morning, ready to do a good day’s work.
Despite alternatives such as fax, e-mail and teleconferencing, business travel continues to grow. Many companies have teleconferencing equipment, but they do not know how to use it. In the global economy, increasing numbers of people deal with more and more countries, and are required to travel across the globe for business which has also become much more cost-effective for companies. In the early eighties, an around-the-world ticket was at least $1,250. Now it’s $700.
Stephen joy, a marketing director at US toy maker Mattel, has been a frequent traveler during most of his sixteen-year career. He believes business travel has become more stressful. " As your life gets fuller, with children and so on, it becomes a lot more difficult," he says. " But, it’s not just to do with age. Modern communications mean that the only time you’ re truly out of reach is on a plane. When you get to the hotel you log on and get your e-mail. In the past when you were away, you were away. Now you’ re expected to take the in-tray with you, and managing your work from afar can be very difficult, especially if you’ re in a different time zone. "
As the volume of business travel has grown, companies have begun to pay increasing attention to its impact on costs. " Now I don’t travel in as much comfort as I did as a junior years ago," says Joy. Today, costs are scrutinized and many companies are concerned with anything more than cheap travel.
There may also be as many health risks associated with long distance flights as there are passengers in economy class. Because most airlines re-circulate the air inside planes, mixing half-fresh air with half-recycled air, flu and colds are among the most frequent problems for travelers. New research suggests that jet lag, once seen as a minor inconvenience, may be far more upsetting to travelers’ health and routines than earlier thought. More worryingly, a recent study identified a possible link between long-distance travel and an increased risk of heart attacks, especially amongst older passengers. Is it time for companies to reassess attitudes to travel and show a little more concern for their travelling staff? [br] According to the writer, why has business travel kept growing?
