Corporate travelers are usually business professionals who travel for work purposes and often look for spaces that spark creativity.  They have high budgets, are looking for quality accommodations that can quickly feel like home, and/or are looking for collaborative spaces for team-building experiences in order to obtain a fresh perspective or other objective.  They tend to be self-reliant, like cooking for themselves rather than eating out.

Corporate travelers and remote workers need a place to stay that is comfortable, convenient, has ample work/office space and has all the amenities they need to get work done.  They want the comforts of home — on the road.  Some corporate travelers may be traveling alone, while others may be traveling with a group.  Either way, they will need a place to stay and park that can accommodate their business or task needs.

Despite the fusion of the two, there is still a divide between leisure travel and business travel.  Everyone in the industry, from accommodation experts to corporate travel managers, wants to deliver a great travel experience.  In order to do so, they must consider the key differences between travel for business and travel for leisure.

What the business traveler wants: 

From the analog to the digital age, business travelers have depended on a few fundamentals:  Location: being able to get to and fro without enduring a nervous breakdown is essential for the business traveler.  There’s nothing worse than trekking halfway across a sprawling, unfamiliar city in a desperate race to be on time for an important meeting.  An easy commute between business trip accommodation and the meeting point saves time and money, avoids stress, and is simply good business.

Amenities:

On a business trip, basics like good coffee, a nutritious breakfast, and a hot shower first thing in the morning, are simple but absolutely crucial elements to kick-start the day.

Facilities on demand:

Whether it’s room service, in-room entertainment or places to relax and unwind, business travel accommodation needs to deliver a home-from-home experience for those on the road.

Connection:

Staying connected with HQ is crucial.  In days gone by, a phone connection to the office would do. Nowadays good wifi, a decent smartphone, and the ability to conference call are all indispensable.

What the leisure traveler wants:

There are certain aspects that the leisure traveler typically takes into consideration that aren’t quite so important in the corporate travel world.  Value for money: without the might of a corporate entity behind them, most leisure travelers understandably prefer to spend less than their business counterparts.  They spend less time searching for hotel deals and are more likely to opt for bargain Airbnb stays and use online booking tools in their search, although businesses are increasingly embracing both. 

Reviews and recommendations:

With the ease of immediate online reviewing, leisure travel is now hugely centered around ratings systems. Leisure travelers turn to sites such as TripAdvisor for feedback on hotels, restaurants, bars and things to do while on their travels. Also, reviews are a central part of Airbnb, which continues its stratospheric rise in the leisure accommodation market.

Packages and special deals:

Leisure travelers are more likely to put their trip in the hands of hoteliers and travel agents, who can get creative and offer a range of packages with a wide array of leisure activities.  Family outings, romantic getaways, walking tours, and tourist attraction visits, are just some of the aspects of leisure travel packages.
