Trips Ahoy!
The add-ons and unbelievable deals we saw in past years may be gone, but our 9th Annual Business Travel Awards prove that good value isn't a distant memory.
What a difference a year makes. Last spring,
Entrepreneur's Business Travel Awards focused on the
growing trend toward upscale travel as business fortunes swelled
and expense accounts fattened. Just a year later, the weakening
economy and the threat of terrorism have altered the travel habits
of entrepreneurs and their employees, and will continue to do so in
coming years.

travel ground to a halt. But slowly it crept back as companies

The frequency and the manner of these trips, however, are
changing. In many cases, business owners are requiring employees to
drive instead of fly to destinations that they can reach in four or
five hours by car. When employees do fly, low-fare carriers are
more likely to be business owners' first choice. And
increasingly, business travelers are relying on the Internet to
provide them with information as well as lower prices.
Keeping these trends in mind, we've come up with a list of
suppliers we feel offer entrepreneurs the best bang for their
travel bucks in 2002. Remember, this is not a formal or scientific
survey, just a subjective list of suppliers that have been found to
consistently offer affordable options to value-conscious business
travelers.
