His views parallel my own: business travel will return, but a portion of it never will. Never. Business relationships, and particularly new business development, THRIVE on in person interactions. But there is a percentage of business travel (maybe 15-25%?) that ultimately does not give an equitable ROI. It’s the type of business travel that has been done “because we’ve always done it that way.” Companies will look at their travel budgets and start to narrow down which types of business travel are necessary for growth and those that can be accomplished through remote work and relationships.
