Pegasus study: business travel continues to gain momentum

The hotel industry once again benefited from an increase in business travel bookings in September, according to figures published this week by Pegasus Solutions.

This week Pegasus Solutions publishes its monthly report on the growth of business travel in the hotel sector. The figures for September are once again a sign of recovery, with a significant increase in the number of corporate bookings (+6.1%) compared to the same period in 2010. Pegasus stresses that this positive global trend is still below the double-digit figures recorded in August (+10.2%), but it is "encouraging". As far as fares are concerned, there was also a rise in September (+3.5%). Pegasus expects these two increases to continue in the final quarter.
