ITB Business Travel Days 2009 - 5 days all about Business Travel:

• In Germany, every third employee travels for business at least once a year, stated in the 'VDR-Business Travel analyses 2008'.

• Every hour, approximately 17,200 business trips begin in Germany.

• The number of national and border-crossing business trips increased in 2007 to over 166,6 million and lead to total expenses of 48,7 billion EUR. 

• The average cost for business trips decreased by 7.4 percent to 137 EUR per day in 2007.

The results of the VDR-Business Travel analyses 2008 show that companies saved more than one billion EUR due to effective Travel Management. Constant training and exchange of knowledge are basic requirements for successful Travel Management. This and more offer the ITB Business Travel Days on five trade show days.

It is the perfect platform for everyone who books, manages or negotiates business travel or events. Suppliers of business travel services meet those who are in charge of companies' travel budgets to interact in workshops, round tables or at the ITB Business Travel Lounge by VDR & HSMA. A must for all players in the business travel sector. Be part of it and attend the ITB Business Travel Days from 11-15  March, 2009.

"The ITB Business Travel Days offer a clear perspective in all areas of business travel, in a way based on the Carl Zeiss AG slogan: We make it visible. I will be part again in 2007!"
Andreas Konkel, Corporate Mobility Manager, Carl Zeiss AG, Oberkochen

"Enlarging ITB Berlin to include the business travel sector was a very good idea. Here you can receive information on innovations, foster contacts and attend highly interesting presentations. You are given the opportunity to stay up-to-date and learn about ways to improve your own travel management."
