 CWT Perspectives | Travel Management Priorities for 2012
Travel managers who have faced market turbulence over the last few years should be steeling themselves for another challenging year that will underline the importance of an effectively managed travel program. Global economic recovery may be slower than previously anticipated, according to the International Monetary Fund, which has revised its forecast for GDP growth down to 4% (stable compared to 2011).1 These global figures hide considerable differences between countries, however, with weak progress in advanced economies contrasting with double-digit growth in China and India. Although oil prices may be lower than in previous years and air capacity looks set to rise slightly, higher travel costs can be expected across regions.

 DLA Piper 2012 Hospitality Outlook Survey
According to the DLA Piper 2012 Hospitality Outlook Survey, after a flurry of deals in 2011, current market conditions remain favorable for investment, while business travel is expected to increase for the second consecutive year. According to respondents, a strong appetite exists for hotel transactions, fueled in part by an expected – and significant – uptick in private equity investment activity, as well as flattening asset values. These factors are expected to far outweigh any concerns over hotel debt issues or any election-related market malaise in 2012.
