When the two words ‘business’ and ‘travel’ are paired together, the emphasis usually falls on the business part. Trips are taken as part of a larger corporate mission, and most travelers tend to reduce the measure of success down to the outcome of the meeting or the event.

Indeed according to a recent global survey of working professionals, when they were asked what they most hope to achieve when traveling for business, nearly half (46 percent) said the goal was growing their company’s business. However, drilling down a bit more into what inspires travelers uncovers a set of motives that carry greater significance for the careers of those whose professional lives are spent on the road.
