Sydney’s best hotels for a business traveller
Business travel is a market of its own. Known as travel that is strictly for business purposes and does not usually involve an element of leisure, these trips usually last just a few days, a weekend or even a day. Business trips were one of the biggest motivators for people to be employed as it provided an opportunity to travel, see the world and of course network. Humans respond better to face-to-face interactions as the personalization improves trust and certain industries used to thrive on this face-to-face meetings. However we are all aware of just how the Pandemic drastically changed the course of business travel. With the increased use for virtual meetings the need for business travel took a downturn that could stay that way for a long time. Business travel reduced to “essential travel only” and that too was just a short in and out trip. However business travel is not inevitable, as the world recovers around the pandemic, business travel may not be the first thing going back to normal but for when it does, where are you going to stay?
