Consultants are on the road again, at least according to the results of our annual Best Places to Stay survey.
Consultants are earning fewer frequent flyer miles so far in 2013—that's pretty clear. The reasons, however, are not quite as clear.
Is a weakened economy to blame? Is it the continued evolution of technologies—and comfort levels of clients—that enables more consultants to work locally? Is it the growing popularity of smaller, niche firms that cater to local markets? Is it clients demanding that travel costs come down? It's probably all of the above that's contributed to the results of this year's annual Best Places to Stay travel survey.
