Businesses Starting To Relax Travel Expense Accounts

The past few years have not been particularly good for business travelers: terrorism, packed planes, long-lines through security, and technological advances allowing companies to track employees every move. Additionally, there was a strong trend a few years ago to tighten the reins on expense accounts.

Fortunately, however, this trend appears to be in reverse, due to a tighter labor market for highly skilled business executives, and fear of travel burnout by key employees. This is good news for travelers, good news for hotels, and good new fare airlines.
