Top executives are split over whether business travel will ever return to the pre-Covid level, and the more-doubtful group controls corporate budgets: CFOs.

and a member of the CNBC TEC, citing the uptake by more businesses of programmable video capabilities via APIs, which can be easily embedded within existing applications to replicate the value of in-person interactions.

CFO consultant Jack McCullough, president of the independent CFO Leadership Council, said it is no surprise that a significant percentage of CFOs say business travel is never going to get back to a pre-Covid normal. In fact, in reference to half of CFOs saying corporate travel is gone for good, he said, "I am surprised that it is that low. I don't know any CFOs who are confident that business travel will ever return to their pre-pandemic levels.

"One thing that we have learned in the last several months is that many of those trips are not critical. Nobody is suggesting that the trips were wasteful or unproductive, but this crisis will end up lasting more than a full year before it ends, and we have learned to function with a lot less travel. There is no reason to go back to prior levels," McCullough said.

No way: the saving are MASSIVE and you can do meetings with tons of people online.

Why would it? Aren’t remote meetings more cost effective? Isn’t travel time consuming? Once it is understood people don’t need to be in the same physical space to be productive, what is the business justification for travel?
