  10. Industry Overview 2014

  11. Industry Overview Although travel suppliers will continue to increase domestic rates slightly in 2014 overall growth will remain flat. This trend is attributable to uncertainties in the business environment due to a variety of financial factors and lower consumer confidence. Although recent trends show modest growth in some business sectors, companies are being cautious in expanding their operations domestically. International travel should grow between 5% and 7% as organizations continue to increase their presence in the global marketplace. 2014

  12. Worldwide T&E Breakdown 2014

  13. Worldwide T&E Breakdown As noted in the chart above companies will need to expand their focus on more areas of their overall travel spend to further drive costs out of their travel programs. A well crafted and enforced travel policy, use of a single TMC, vendor negotiations, reporting and appropriate technologies are key components to reducing overall travel expense. 2014

  14. Industry Average Ticket Prices 2013 will see modest average ticket price increases domestically with slightly larger increases internationally (See chart below). Airlines will continue to cut capacity and “right size” their fleets to increase revenues. 2014
