CWT research reveals business travelers are more health-conscious during trips

38% eat healthier, 26% work out more, and only 7% do not maintain their wellness regimes

MINNEAPOLIS, USA – EQS - 20 August 2019
 Research by CWT, the B2B4E travel
management platform, shows that awareness
of maintaining healthy eating habits is growing momentum amongst business
travelers. Overall 38% of business travelers eat healthier while on the road.
Asia Pacific travelers are the most likely to eat healthier when traveling for
business (46%) compared to travelers in Americas (35%) and Europe (29%).

 

“Maintaining healthy habits while
traveling is nearing the top of the priority list for travelers around the
world,” said Niklas Andréen, CWT’s Chief Traveler Experience Officer.
“At the end of the day, being in tune with what matters to your employees
is indispensable for retaining and attracting the best talent.”

 

Travelers
in Asia Pacific are likely to work out more (33%) while abroad, compared to
travelers in Americas (23%) and Europe (21%). On the flipside, Europe business
travelers are less likely to work out while on the road (48%) vs. travelers in
Americas (38%) and Asia Pacific (32%).

 

Meanwhile,
only 7% of travelers do not adhere to health and wellness
routines when traveling. The percentage is higher among Europeans (10%)
and Americans (8%), while travelers in Asia Pacific are the least likely
to steer away from their wellness routines (3%).

 

Since 2017,
maintaining health and wellness routines while on the road has become an
increasing priority for travelers. Across all regions, business travelers are
striving to achieve their health and wellness routines regardless of where they
are in the world.
