I know what you\u2019re thinking: \u201canother day, another millennial-focused article\u201d. But as a generation that is on the cusp of surpassing baby boomers as the <\/span>nation\u2019s largest living adult generation<\/span><\/a>, it\u2019s important for brands to take notice of the trends they\u2019re setting as consumers. In 2017, more than 514 million business trips were taken, spending a total of $424 billion. Younger business <\/span>travelers are on the rise,<\/span><\/a> with the frequent travelers now more likely to be under the age of 45. In fact, by 2020, millennials will make up <\/span>more than half of business travelers<\/span><\/a>. Today, we\u2019re looking at how millennials, and the $1.3 trillion that they have to spend, are impacting the business travel industry. <\/span><\/p>\n

Select your respondents<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

BUSINESS OR PLEASURE?<\/b><\/p>\n

81% of millennial business travelers say that \u201cbusiness travel has a positive impact on their job satisfaction\u201d, compared to 26% of baby boomers who are happy to travel for work. \u201cBleisure\u201d may have something to do with millennial\u2019s willingness to travel. Bleisure is used to describe a new type of business traveler: someone who fits in leisure travel while on the road for business. <\/span>80% of millennials are more likely<\/span><\/a> to extend their business trip to include a few vacation days, versus 56% of GenXers and 46% of baby boomers. What are they doing with their bleisure time? The <\/span>three most popular activities<\/span><\/a> are sightseeing, dining and taking in arts\/culture. <\/span><\/p>\n

EXPERIENCE OVER CONVENIENCE<\/b><\/p>\n

While companies used to have very rigid guidelines for employee travel, millennials are pushing back and asking for a budget. From there, they can decide which airline to fly, and where they\u2019ll stay. While baby boomer business travelers may have had their one hotel chain or airline they frequented in hopes of racking up loyalty points, millennials are more focused on the best experience and value. They don\u2019t mind eschewing points for an Airbnb in a cool area. They\u2019re also more likely to save in other ways as well. They\u2019re more likely to spend less on transportation, due to their use of ridesharing apps like Uber or Lyft, which can be cheaper alternatives to rental cars or taxis. <\/span><\/p>\n

TECHNOLOGY<\/b><\/p>\n

While millennials enjoy the perks that come with technology advances, such as the option to work remotely, they still prefer face-to-face meeting to get business deals done, according to a report by GBTA Business Traveler. This means that business travel will continue to be important for the millennial employee. Additionally, millennials rely on technology for the entire travel booking process\u2014from searching online reviews, to mobile booking and online check-in, to researching restaurants and activities. Millennials are forging new norms for the travel industry. By embracing technology and innovation, brands can attract this intriguing generation of consumers. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
