BTTB Travel & Entertainment Survey 2008

Thank you for visiting the 2008 BTTB T&E survey page. This short survey attempts to identify current travel patterns, budget directions and the pressures facing travel managers. These findings will be analysed independently, with the results to be published later this year in Business Travel Monthly.

The simple online survey below should take just a few minutes of your time. The survey is open to all travel managers in the Asia Pacific, but not to suppliers.

By completing the survey, not only will you be helping establish regional benchmarks, you’ll also be in the running for a prize of a $500 travellers cheque from our project partner, American Express Corporate Card.

All data will be totally confidential and travel managers can choose to respond anonymously. All identification data will be separated from the survey data before analysis and kept totally confidential. However, if you do complete the survey anonymously we can't enter you for the prize draw - because we don't know who you are!
