DRV: 97% of German business travellers undeterred by COVID-19 spikes

German Travel Association (DRV), via its 'Chefsache Business Travel 2022' report, stated (24-Nov-2022) only 3% of German business travellers would cancel business travel appointments due to an upcoming spike in COVID-19 infections. Respondents indicated however, that they are open to any form of support for safe travel, whether from their own company or from other sources, with 55% stating they would like detailed information about changes in entry and exit regulations. DRV highlighted companies have improved their risk management, with 72% supporting employees with professional risk management, "​​significantly more" than prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Around 19% of these companies established functions for risk management measures following the outbreak of COVID-19, and 16% after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [more - original PR - German]
