The corona crisis brings changes. Working from home and online meetings are just two things that workers may need to get used to. These newly discovered tools have a major impact on business trips in particular: these are gradually falling to zero.

According to an overview by the IT service provider Coupa, spending on manager trips worldwide in the third quarter of 2020 fell by a full 97 percent compared to the previous year - the number of business trips fell significantly more than that of vacation trips. Of course, if companies can easily save anywhere, it is on business trips. Of course, the increasing duty of care is also an important reason for the decline. In addition, the almost daily changing entry regulations make planning more difficult.

However, the restrictions do not affect all parts of the world equally. While in Latin America, Africa and parts of Asia an almost complete descent can be observed, managers from East Asia are on the road more often. Within China, compared to the previous year, a good 80 percent of managers would get on the plane due to work, like wiwo.de reported.
