CWT Traveler wants to know
Beginning in 2008, CWT Traveler would like to give readers the opportunity to weigh in on topics of relevance to travelers. Each month will highlight a single survey question, and the following month will reveal the results. Readers also have the option to submit potential survey questions to be highlighted in future issues of CWT Traveler. June's question is below, along with the link to submit your response.
How far in advance do you generally book your business travel?
- More than 14 days in advance
- 7-14 days in advance
- Less than 7 days in advance
May survey results
The May survey question and results were as follows:
Has your company implemented any “green” initiatives in relation to business travel?
- 8% responded “Yes, our green initiatives are well developed”
- 20% responded “Yes, but our green initiatives are just getting started”
- 36% responded “No”
- 36% responded “What is a ‘green’ initiative?”
Background: A “green initiative” would be any initiative that puts emphasis on being environmentally friendly. CWT Traveler will continue to cover topics related to environmentally friendly business travel. Beginning this month we are also adding a “Green tip of the month” for environmentally friendly behaviors on the road, in the office, and at home.
