“Maintaining healthy habits while traveling is nearing the top of the priority list for travelers around the world,” said Niklas Andréen, CWT’s Chief Traveler Experience Officer. “At the end of the day, being in tune with what matters to your employees is indispensable for retaining and attracting the best talent.”
Travelers in Asia Pacific are likely to work out more (33 percent) while abroad, compared to travelers in Americas (23 percent) and Europe (21 percent).
