CWT Business Travel Indicator studies corporate travel environment around the world
Whether you are a business traveler from New York City, Rio de Janeiro, London, or Beijing, you have more in common than not with your flying brethren across the globe. In a survey commissioned by Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT), travelers and travel managers expect business travel to stay the same or increase in 2006. Security lines and flight delays top the list as the events that most negatively affect travel. And, the majority of business travelers do not want in-flight cell phone use allowed.
These are among the findings of the CWT global business travel survey, the “CWT Business Travel Indicator.” The survey was conducted by KRC Research for CWT and gauged the attitudes and perceptions of business travelers and corporate travel managers about the current and future state of business travel.TSA sets guidelines for Registered Traveler; program set to launch June 20
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has released parameters for a nationwide Registered Traveler (RT) program, saying it will work with private-sector providers of registered traveler programs to "harmonize technologies and business processes with government-sponsored travel facilitation programs." The program will be "harmonized" with PASS, a passport credentialing system recently launched by the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security. Once developed, cross-border visitors can present the People Access Security Service or PASS instead of a passport or birth certificate when entering the U.S.
