The 25 Most Visited International Cities By Business Travelers
Skift Take

Concur, the travel and expense automation company, recently came out with its annual "Expense IQ Report" for 2013, and based on its $50 billion expense transactions per year that it processes, it has a wealth of trends data around business travel habits.
One of the charts particularly caught our globalist eye, its list of the international destinations are most popular among business travelers, and the relative average costs for lodging, dining, ground transportation and entertainment.
London once again came in as the top destination, and the top four most visited cities remained unchanged from 2011, Concur data shows.
