Instead of cutting budgets for the year ahead, travel buyers are focusing on cost control by renegotiating with suppliers and using travel management companies to get better returns on investment.

Instant services specifically designed to manage travel needs such as mobile apps and review websites are becoming more popular among business travellers, according to a report.

Just 17 per cent of buyers believe encouraging compliance with travel policy is more difficult than a year ago.

Purchasers believe the tax is “out of kilter” with the rest of Europe, but just see it as a cost of doing business.

Purchasers of travel will manage more spend covering more flights in the next five years, but only a few departments will also increase staff according to a survey.

Continuing economic uncertainty and a lack of job growth means business travel spend across Western Europe will fall this year.
