Employee wellness and sustainability shape business trips

Many businesses are redefining their business travel policies, with sustainability and employee wellness a key focus

The evolving face of business travel is fascinating. But the rising demand for business travel is not necessarily easy for the industry to handle. Here are just some of the issues travel and hospitality providers are grappling with at the moment.

• Duty of care is everywhere now. For example, a company’s business travel policy might say that if an employee is traveling for more than four hours, they can book premium economy or business class on a plane;
