SYDNEY - Corporate travel agents are using the coronavirus-induced lull in bookings to work with companies on how to get their staff out of Zoom videoconferences and safely back in the air.
"I am seeing a trend now starting to pick up ... We can Zoom or Microsoft meetings but nothing beats the face to face," said Ms Jo Sully, regional general manager Asia-Pacific at American Express Global Business Travel. New Zealand, which emerged from lockdown in May, is already back to half of last year's domestic booking levels, said Mr Jamie Pherous, managing director of Brisbane-based Corporate Travel Management .
Chinese domestic bookings are around 60 per cent of pre-pandemic levels and some European markets have begun to pick up as border restrictions there ease, said Mr Chris Galanty, the London-based global chief executive of Flight Centre Travel Group's corporate divisions.
