Corporate travel managers are more open to the idea of employees using innovative ground transportation options like Uber than they are to workers staying in Airbnb-type accommodation.

A survey of 350 corporate travel managers around the world by the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE) in partnership with American Express Global Business Travel found 13 per cent of corporate travel programs were already including ground transportation options like Uber from the sharing economy and a further 13 per cent planned to implement them in the next two years. Another 33 per cent are talking about introducing it to their policy.
