Business travel: turns out it does more than just fill up the front half of the airplane.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this fascinating two minute read, from an article by Connie Lin and first published earlier this month in business e-magazine, Fast Company<\/a>, we discover the surprising causes of a country’s economic growth thanks to business travel. It’s a different and compelling argument for conducting face to face business over video\u00a0conferencing than we’re used to seeing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/business-traveller-mask-laptop-plane.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.2″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_5,3_5,1_5″ admin_label=”divider” _builder_version=”4.4.2″ collapsed=”on”][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.4.2″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.4.2″][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.4.2″ custom_margin=”||0px||false|false”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.4.2″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”article” _builder_version=”4.4.2″ collapsed=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”article content” _builder_version=”4.4.2″]<\/p>\n

Business travel actually does some good for the world, says a new study<\/a> out of the Harvard Kennedy School\u2019s Growth Lab<\/strong>, which finds a direct link\u2014of causation, not correlation\u2014between a country\u2019s incoming business travel and its economic growth. The more business travellers a country received, the better its industrial ventures fared, and the higher its GDP climbed.<\/p>\n

The study\u2019s authors attribute this link to the movement of \u201cknowhow\u201d\u2014a quantity that exists only in brains and is transferred from brain to brain through lived experiences, over years of imitating, repeating, and responding to situations. It\u2019s the type of knowledge that cannot be written in a book or defined by an algorithm, but must be picked up from others by working alongside them.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMoving knowhow quickly involves moving brains,\u201d the authors wrote\u2014i.e., flying those brains, and the people who carry them, overseas and across continents. This could explain why business travel is still so prevalent, despite being far slower and more expensive than digital communication such as Skype or Zoom.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For the study, Harvard researchers partnered with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, using data from Mastercard\u2019s corporate credit and debit cards to track business travel from 2011 to 2016. With this data they ranked countries on incoming and outgoing knowhow, with Germany, Canada, and the U.S. among the top countries exporting knowhow.<\/p>\n

The team also created an interactive visualisation<\/a> that shows the effects of curbing business travel from any given country\u2014including which other countries would be most impacted, and how the global GDP would change. If Germans stopped traveling, for example, Austria, South Africa, Switzerland, Nigeria, and Czechia would be most affected, and the global GDP would drop 4.8%.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a study rife with implications for the COVID-19 era, when business travel has been grounded worldwide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAccording to our study, the world is benefiting enormously by mobilising the knowhow in brains through business travel. A permanent shutdown of this channel would probably imply a double-digit loss in global GDP,\u201d Ricardo Hausmann, director of Harvard\u2019s Growth Lab, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Outside of COVID-19, the study also has implications for patterns of economic growth, suggesting they could be shaped by the relative ease of traveling to certain countries.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cObstacles to business travel, such as cumbersome visa regimes and long connections, constrain access to knowhow and limit growth opportunities, especially in developing countries,\u201d Frank Neffke, a research director at the Growth Lab, said in a statement. The top countries importing knowhow are Austria, Ireland, and Switzerland\u2014which are located close to a trove of knowhow-rich countries\u2014while Iraq, Bangladesh, and Pakistan have the fewest knowhow-bringing visitors.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You\u2019ll also find innovative and interactive virtual trips<\/a><\/strong>, which walk you through each step of\u00a0 being at the airport, on the train and in the hotel. You can even check the travel restrictions and health status of your destination with our comprehensive COVID-19 Country Tracker, updated five times daily to ensure you have the very latest information to help keep you and your travellers safe.<\/p>\n

Travel is changing. But with common sense and a good TMC behind you, travellers should have the confidence to once again take to the skies. It\u2019ll soon be business<\/strong><\/em><\/a> as (un)usual.<\/p>\n
