It’s no surprise that business travel is seen as a great way to help launch your career, but it also stresses out young professionals and negatively impacts their personal lives.
For those who have recently embarked upon a professional career, business travel is seen as not just a way to advance their standing in a company but also a status symbol of their importance in corporate culture.
Coping with the rigors of a life on the road, though, has proved to be a challenge for many who are torn between developing their personal lives and being a good worker for their company.
Hilton Hotels & Resorts polled 1,200 business travelers, and 400 travelers ages 23-35 who haven’t started traveling for business yet, on their interests and behaviors when it comes to business travel for a report on so-called “next-generation” business travelers.
Hilton found that most, 53 percent, love to travel for business; in fact, 53 percent will also create reasons to travel for work to get out on the road.
