Today the Hyatt
Place and Hyatt
House brands released findings from a Business Traveler Survey,
which was conducted online by The Harris Poll and consisted of more than
1,300 adults across the United States, China and India who have traveled
for business in the last 12 months (international business travelers),
to gain a greater understanding of how business travel can deliver both
personal and professional growth on the road. The brands collaborated
with entrepreneur Bill Rancic to reveal the survey findings last night
in New York City, alongside the winners of the 2018 #WhySettle Spirit
Awards.

The #WhySettle Spirit Awards honors hard-working individuals who never
settle when it comes to work or supporting the ones they love, and this
year’s categories were tailored to three distinct personas that embody
the “why settle” spirit through relentless drive and ambition:
- The 24/7 MVP – business travelers who always manage to make the
meeting, make dinner and make it all look easy
- The Inspiring Innovator – business travelers who have taken
charge of their careers and follow their own passions to pave the way
- The Road Warrior – business travelers who have logged so many
miles that even flight attendants know their name
Expanding on its “You’ve
Come Too Far to Settle Now” platform, the #WhySettle Spirit Awards
and Business Traveler Survey celebrate today’s modern business travelers
who never settle for “good enough” in their careers and should never
settle for “good enough” when it comes to their hotel stay.
“Both Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels are designed to meet the needs
of business travelers and we conducted a survey to further understand
the business traveler psyche and how these go-getters think, act and
feel while on the road,” said Steven Dominguez, vice president of global
brands, Hyatt Place and Hyatt House. “From the way we design our rooms
to our balanced menu and craft cocktail options that cater to
hard-working professionals – we believe our travelers deserve the best
and shouldn’t settle for anything less.”
During the survey launch event, Rancic and the #WhySettle Spirit Award
winners shared travel tricks and tips that can help business travelers
make the most of life on the road. Rancic, a frequent business traveler
himself, revealed how he shares similar experiences with other travelers
as found in the study.
“As a business traveler, I’m looking for seamless experiences that set
me up for success while on the road,” said Rancic, “Hyatt Place and
Hyatt House hotels are a trusted launching point and home base for road
warriors like me because they are reliable, comfortable and unobtrusive,
allowing guests to be as productive as possible.”
The Business Traveler Survey provided insight on the mindset of these
road warriors, including what motivates them and what they learn during
their travels.
- 77 percent of U.S. business travelers believe business travel has
helped them to communicate more successfullywith different
types of people, and that percentage is even greater in China
(88 percent) and India(95 percent)
- 68 percent of U.S. business travelers say business travel has
inclined them to be more empathic towards others, and this number
increases in China (88 percent) and India (90 percent)
- 59 percent of international business travelers identify themselves
as someone who sees obstacles not as challenges but asopportunities
to grow. More importantly, 92 percent of employed U.S. business
travelers are motivated to advance their career and the percentage
is even higher in China (96 percent) and India (96 percent)
-
Among those motivated international business travelers, more are
driven by creating a better life for their families(48
percent) than receiving praise or recognition at work (33
percent)
- 77 percent of U.S. business travelers believe being on the
road has taught them skills they can use when facing challenges in
their personal life and that number is even higher in China (88
percent) and India (90 percent)
Furthermore, the survey reveals their habits (consisting of adults in
the U.S., China and India), including:
- 22 percent of business travelers think wearing pajamas on
conference calls is a major benefit of taking business trips that
require hotel stays.
- 27 percent of business travelers admit they binge watch shows
that they haven’t been able to watch at home while traveling
- 26 percent of international business travelers indulge by having a
stiff drink at the bar while traveling

About The Business Traveler Survey
The Business Traveler Survey was conducted online by The Harris Poll, on
behalf of Hyatt Place and Hyatt House, among adults over the age of 18
who had embarked on at least one business trip within the past 12 months
in the U.S. (n=290), China (n=423) and India (n=677). The U.S. survey
was conducted from December 15-19, 2017; and the surveys for India and
China were conducted between February 9-13, 2018.
These online surveys are not based on a probability sample, and
therefore, no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
