We recently conducted a survey of business travellers to discover their thoughts on what their travel might look like in 2021. It appears that a return to travel is closely linked to the rollout of vaccines with over 50% of respondents indicating that they would travel for business only after receiving a vaccine. Still, 36% suggested they would be fine to travel without the vaccine. Curious about other travel trends in a post-vaccine world? Read on to find out more: https://okt.to/PguwE8
