Less than half the time on a business trip is spent doing work
Less than half the time on a business trip is spent doing work – with reading and watching TV filling time between meetings, research has found.
A poll of 1,000 adults who have travelled for work spend most of the time simply frittering away the hours, with just 48 per cent of it spent working productively.
Watching telly in the hotel, reading a book and playing video games are among the most common things to do to kill time between meetings or work events.
And 94 per cent find time to explore the local area on an average 72-hour work trip.
But 60 per cent find it frustrating when they don’t do anything useful or meaningful with the free time they have.
The research was commissioned by Premier Inn, which has released The Downtime Series to help business travellers get the most out of their time away [www.premierinn.com/downtime-series].
