Business travel is considered exciting and glamorous--but mostlyby those who don't have to travel on business. The reality isthat business travel can be grueling. It's hard on the back,hard on the family, and increasingly hard on the wallets ofentrepreneurs without fat corporate expense accounts to relyon.

In our fifth annual Business Travel Awards, we highlight thebest products and programs offered by travel service suppliers thathave focused on small-business owners whose travel expenses comeright out of their own pockets.

This is not a ranking or a formal survey; it is a recognition ofcompanies that consistently offer value-conscious travelersaffordable options.
