Clients are pushing back more than ever on travel-related expenses
Consultants are earning fewer frequent flyer miles so far in 2012—that's pretty clear. The reasons, however, are not 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.
