BUSINESS TRAVELLERS READY TO TAKE UP BUSINESS TRAVEL AGAIN

OpinionWay and Corporate Mobilities have published the results of the fourth wave of the Business Travel Observatory in France and abroad carried out for AXA Partners, Les Entreprises du Voyage and the ACCOR Group. This study suggests that the business tourism sector, which was hit by the health crisis, is in for an optimistic future.

Unveiled on 14 December 2021, the research confirms a recovery in the domestic and European market.¹
Nearly two years after the appearance of Covid and almost a year after the first vaccinations, the recovery observed in June 2021 in domestic and European travel is confirmed, with priority given to client or prospect meetings, in contrast to trade fairs, incentives or intra-company meetings, which will not benefit from the same positive trend.

However, travelers expect suppliers (accommodation, catering and transport) to comply with health regulations and to provide eco-responsible services.²
“Tomorrow’s business travel will have to be considered in the light of new forms of work organisation, the continuing importance of health issues, profitability and productivity, but also, and to a lesser extent, the environmental impact of travel” explains the Observatory.

Chabé took advantage of the health crisis to review its hygiene and safety requirements with the introduction of new provisions such as:

• The cleaning of the vehicle between each run (seat, door handles, armrests) with antiseptic wipes
• Ventilation of the vehicle between each job
• The removal of any equipment from the rear of the vehicle (water bottles are on request)
• The provision of masks and hydroalcoholic gel for all passengers and chauffeurs
• The installation of Plexiglas partitions on some vehicles

But also by offering its customers and passengers more responsible services through:

• The deployment of a fleet of electric vehicle: Today, our low emission vehicles (hybrid and electric) represent 6% of our fleet and we aim to increase that percentage to 50% by end of 2022.
• Carbon offsetting: Chabé is a partner of the GoogPlanet Foundation with the aim of reducing our CO2 emissions.
• Eco-driving training: All our chauffeurs are regularly trained in eco-driving.

This reflects Chabé’s voluntary commitment to CSR.
