Loving thy neighbour?

(Ecomonic Times, The (India) (KRT) Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Jan. 27--MUMBAI, India -- While travelling, business travellers from Asia Pacific are most likely to be irritated by other passengers. While both Australians and Japanese are most annoyed by crying babies, the Chinese dislike other travellers not checking-in over-sized luggage, and Indian travellers do not appreciate being disturbed by other passengers.



Nuggets of information on travel habits were among the findings of a global survey on business travel conducted by Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT). The survey has randomly sampled opinions of 2,100 business travellers and 650 travel managers, in 12 countries.

Countries from Asia Pacific which were included in the survey are Australia, China, India and Japan.Commenting on travel experiences that have a negative impact on business travellers, 28 percent of those surveyed said airport security lines frequently impact them, 23 percent said flight delays do.



In Australia, India, and Japan flight delays affect 61 percent of business travellers frequently or occasionally. Chinese business travellers, are most likely to be frequently or occasionally affected by airport security lines, compared to other travellers in this region.

In the Asia Pacific, Japanese travellers are most comfortable with making their travel bookings online, with 75 percent of them booking more than 40 percent of their business travel online. A majority of Australian travellers 55 percent also book their business travel online, while their counterparts in China and India do so less often 23 percent and 17 percent respectively.
